Emma is such a down to earth young woman who is an amazing role model for everyone. I think Emma knows/realizes FairTrade wont take over and sadly she is right. Our society especially the US puts money before anything else and it is sad. Maybe if we could start to manufacture clothes via FairTrade we would make the world a happier place. A few years ago, I was able to visit the Dominican Republic where a friend of mine was a missionary and we saw firsthand the poor working conditions and homes of people. I think it is awesome and admirable of Emma to do this-also found it interesting that she was assigned the project and took such an interest that she wanted to do further research. Way to go Emma!! Maybe someday the big companies will open their eyes.
