As a service-learning project with Burlington’s Peace & Justice Center, Environmental Policy students explored the topic of Fair Trade and how our campus could support these efforts. Picking up where they left off, Sustain Champlain student employee, Rebecca Carlson ’14, is spear-heading an effort to attain a Fair Trade Campus Designation. Together with the Purchasing/Food Committee, which includes our campus partner Sodexo, we are hoping to achieve this early in the new year.

Just today, we achieved a major milestone, with the official signature of the Champlain College Fair Trade Resolution. Congratulations to all involved with this work!
