Tune in to WXYC 89.3 FM for Northern Hemisphere Live on August 5 from 5-7
PM EST for a live discussion about Coffee, specifically Fair Trade Coffee
and why this system is an alternative to Conventionally-traded Coffee
and what conscientious coffee drinkers are doing to support it.

"The coffee we drink every morning is the fruit of the labour of peasant
families in Southern countries. Often these people are underpaid
and marginalized, and have few legal rights. They are exposed to highly
toxic pesticides that have been banned in the North. Thousands of hectares of
forest are cleared to make way for giant
monoculture coffee plantations. Animal and plant habitats are destroyed,
endangering the survival of many species." (from
Equiterre <http://www.equiterre.qc.ca/english/coffee/index.html>)

Join us for an examination of coffee economics, coffee politics and an
informative coffee talk (decaf or regular!)
Feel free to call in and offer your point of view, too: 919-962-8989.
