Fair trade

Fair trade is a social movement whose stated goal is to help producers in developing countries achieve better trading conditions and to promote sustainability.

Members of the movement advocate the payment of higher prices to exporters, as well as improved social and environmental standards. The movement focuses in particular on commodities, or products which are typically exported from developing countries to developed countries, but also consumed in domestic markets (e.g. Brazil, India and Bangladesh) most notably handicrafts, coffee, cocoa, sugar, tea, bananas, honey, cotton, wine, fresh fruit, chocolate, flowers, gold, and 3D printer filament.

The movement seeks to promote greater equity in international trading partnerships through dialogue, transparency, and respect. It promotes sustainable development by offering better trading conditions to, and securing the rights of, marginalized producers and workers in developing countries. Fair Trade is grounded in three core beliefs; first, producers have the power to express unity with consumers. Secondly, the world trade practices that currently exist promote the unequal distribution of wealth between nations. Lastly, buying products from producers in developing countries at a fair price is a more efficient way of promoting sustainable development than traditional charity and aid.

Plot

A small group of Sleestak assemble in an underground trap designed to capture a pig-like creature, installing a temporary periscope to spy on the pig. Ta runs into the pig, who chases him away.

Meanwhile, Will sharpens a knife at the base of High Bluff while Holly watches Rick on the pendant. Ta arrives and sees Will's knife. He realizes it could be used to kill the pig and tries to steal it, but is caught in the act. As Holly watches her father in the pendant, she sees him fall into the trap and disappear.

Rick awakes beneath the opening into which he fell. He finds himself surrounded by Sleestak, realizing he is safe as long as he stays in the pool of light cast by the sun. Will and Holly arrive with rope to retrieve him, but are chased away by Grumpy, whose right leg slips into the cave-in while in pursuit of Spot.
