Building A Fair and Circular Economy
A circular economy reduces waste, regenerates natural systems, and strengthens communities. Instead of the traditional “take–make–dispose” model, circular systems focus on reuse, repair, and responsible sourcing.
Fair Trade plays a vital role by ensuring that economic sustainability also protects workers, farmers, and communities.
By supporting Fair Trade products in Calgary, businesses and students contribute to a more ethical, resilient, and circular economy.
