So it’s oldish news, but this is a new blog, so below are a few links to articles about our innovative Equal Exchange CD (certificate of deposit). Offered through Wainwright bank, it’s a simple direct way to invest $1,000 or more in Equal Exchange and Fair Trade, and receive a competitive rate of interest. Farmers get to farm (and feed their families), bankers get to bank (and pay you interest), you help change the world. It’s all good.
