(English version)

A bouquet of flowers can say, “I love you,” I’m sorry,” or “Get well.” If they’re Fair Trade flowers they can also say, “I care.”

Every dollar spent on Fair Trade Certified flowers supports the health and livelihood of flower industry employees – mostly women in Central and South America. Flowers that carry the Fair Trade seal have been grown with fewer pesticides than typical flowers and pregnant workers are protected from exposure to dangerous toxins.

The workforce benefits from paid maternity leave, childcare, and access to managerial positions. And profits get pooled into cooperatives that support local schools, scholarships and micro-finance enterprises.

Find Fair Trade flowers in the US at supermarkets such as Whole Foods, Giant, and Food Emporium, as well as online merchants like 1-800Flowers.com. If they’re not available at your local florist or supermarket, or if you’d like to lend a hand in other ways, contact TransFair for more information, clever ideas, literature, and this inspiring video.
