Fair Treat

Fair-trade parties give the Tupperware model a sustainable twist by offering edible, wearable, and decorative products that support workers and environmental initiatives in developing countries. While some organizations will provide hosts with goods to sell, you can do it yourself by supplying educational pamphlets, a few donated samples, catalogs to order from, and fair-trade coffee and sweets to entice guests. sierraclub.org/trade/fair_trade
