Disciples of Christ Coffee Project

We serve Fair Trade Coffee at Webster Café …

Why Fair Trade?Since 2005, the staff and administration at DHM have served Fair Trade coffee because we realize that our actions as consumers can support or discourage actions by businesses.

By making the choice to buy fairly traded products, DHM has committed itself to helping provide health care, education and a better lifestyle for farmers, workers, and artisans around the world.

How Fair Trade Benefits Small FarmersFair Trade provides the means for small farmers to make enough money to support themselves while using the premiums to improve their standard of living.

Fair Trade is not a charity or handout; it is simply a process of giving a fair exchange.

If you have an outdated computer or two in your basement or old cell phones packed away in a box, you’re not alone. According to the Consumer Electronics Association, Americans own approximately 24 electronic products per household.

With a constant supply of newer, faster electronic products on the market, older models are continually replaced. As a result, electronics have become one of the fastest growing waste streams. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that more than 2 million tons of televisions, cell phones, computer products and other electronics are disposed each year.

Currently, only about 20 percent of these materials are recycled …
