In this month’s edition of Keeping It Fresh, we chat with Dr. Tom Newhaus, Cal Poly Professor & Fair Trade activist.  Charles and Tom discuss the upcoming fundraising dinner for the Fair Trade Club at Cal Poly and Project Hope & Fairness at the Monday Club, Tuesday May 17th.  Tom is raising money with an elegant multi-course French dinner to assist student participation in his upcoming trip to the cocoa growing region of Africa.  For eight years Tom has spent his summers in Africa building economic tools for cocoa growers to increase the viability and sustainability of farming  and growing the bean that brings us chocolate.  Hear more in the program and visit “Sweet Earth Chocolates” or Project Hope and Fairness.http://bigskycafe.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/KIF-May-111.mp3
