Climate Justice?
Wake Up, Canada, and Smell the Coffee!
From: The Fair Trade Handbook
$1.10
This chapter concerns Canadian efforts to slow climate change, or the lack thereof. Continued inaction means that Indigenous peoples will be first and most effected. The author suggests sustainable coffee growing practices as part of the solution to these problems.
