In the title you say that "Certified Organic Hits US Shelves" but it is actually Fair Trade Certified, not organic. Like organic certification, Fair Trade has environmental standards for the production of cotton, such the elimination of use of harmful pesticides. But in addition to that, Fair Trade also includes economic and social standards such as a fair wage for workers, fair working hours, and an additional premium for the communities to invest in social development projects like scholarships, schools or medical clinics. Thanks again for this article - we're very excited about the news! - Katie Barrow Fri, 11 Dec 2009 12:59:41 +0100
