  Welcome to The Daily Quote, a podcast designed to kick start
• 0:06
  your day in a positive way. I'm your host Andrew McGivern
• 0:09
  from May 13th. Now you might be wondering,
• 0:13
  isn't May 13th just another Tuesday?
• 0:17
  Well, not quite. Today is National Fair Trade
• 0:21
  Day, a day dedicated to recognizing the importance of
• 0:25
  Fair compensation and ethical treatment for workers around the
• 0:28
  globe. Now, fair trade is not to be
• 0:30
  confused with free trade and the ridiculous tariff war that we've
• 0:35
  got going on right now, but it's a reminder that the choices you
• 0:39
  make as a consumer can have far reaching impacts.
• 0:44
  To honor this day, let's reflect on a quote that encapsulates the
• 0:48
  essence of Fair trade from Anna Lape, who once said every time
• 0:55
  you spend money, you're casting a vote for the kind of world you
• 0:59
  want. This quote serves as a powerful
• 1:02
  reminder that your purchasing decisions are not just
• 1:05
  transactions, they're endorsements of the practices
• 1:08
  and values of the companies you support.
• 1:11
  Choosing a fair trade product means you're advocating for
• 1:15
  equitable wages, safe working conditions, and sustainable
• 1:19
  practices. Think of it this way, when you
• 1:22
  opt for that fair trade coffee or chocolate, you're not just
• 1:27
  satisfying the craving, you're contributing to a system that
• 1:31
  values human dignity over profit margins.
• 1:34
  It's like being a superhero, but instead of a Cape, you wield a
• 1:39
  shopping cart. So today, as you go about your
• 1:43
  routine, consider the impact of your choices.
• 1:48
  Remember, each dollar you spend is a vote for the kind of world
• 1:53
  you want to live in. Make account.
• 1:57
  I'm Andrew McGivern signing off for today, but I'll be back
• 2:00
  tomorrow. Same pod time, same pod station
• 2:05
  with another daily quote.
