FWIW, as a matter of company policy the coffee pot here at the Fourth 
World Embassy brews only Fair Trade Certified coffees:

<http://transfairusa.org/>

This helps ensure at least a living wage to all growers and suppliers in 
the chain.  The cost is on par with non-certified coffees, and there are 
some darn tasty blends available, some from Brazil.

Lately I've even started buying Fair Trade Certified sugar, and I'm told 
a local vendor sells Fair Trade Certified chocolate products as well. 
Hmmmm... Maybe it's time for me to bake up a batch of Fair Trade 
Certified chocolate chip cookies.... :)
