Fair trade trick-or-treating

Here's a fun way to go green this Halloween! Instead of handing out candy from your local supermarket, try this Fair Trade Trick or Treat Action Kit. In addition to the 42 pieces of equal exchange fair trade chocolate candy for all the neighborhood ghosts and goblins, the kit also contains a cool Mexican party streamer, and a large stack of postcards with information on how to identify fair trade products.

Sure, it might be a little preachy to put fair trade postcards in all the kids' candy sacks -- but I figure, they're asking for free candy, so it won't kill them to spend 30 seconds reading about something important while they're gorging themselves later that evening. Plus, you'll still be better than the neighborhood dentist, who always hands out tooth floss instead of candy (which is totally lame).

While we're still a few weeks away from Halloween, it sounds like you'll want to pick this up sooner rather than later, as the company plans to ship all orders the week of October 7th. You can order the kit for $15 here.
