Ask for Fair Trade Coffee at Starbucks

The Issue

The Starbucks corporation has agreed to offer fair trade coffee in all their stores, if a customer asks for it.  Many stores don't actually brew it unless someone specifically asks for it.  The next time you visit Starbucks, ask for their Fair Trade blend, which is called Cafe Estima.  You'll be helping to prevent human trafficking in the coffee industry and showing Starbucks that their customers value fair trade products.
