One phone call is certainly not doing the trick when it comes to bringing Russia and Ukraine together to end the war. Trump had a marathon call with Putin and afterward both men spoke to the press expressing very different opinions about the outcome of the discussion and what comes next. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was in front of a Senate hearing discussing deportations and whether the Trump administration has the power to suspend habeas corpus. She told senators “Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country.” She was immediately corrected, but perhaps she should spend less time on hair and make up and more time on learning what's in the Constitution she swore to uphold.

Come join award-winning journalist Priya David Clemens in conversation with Paul Rice, founder and former CEO of Fair Trade USA, to discuss his critical account of the past, present and future of conscious capitalism—the change it has wrought in the world and the potential it still has to confront our greatest challenges. We all have the power to change the world through the products we buy. This simple premise has driven the growth of the conscious consumer movement for decades.

Yet the true promise of ethical sourcing and conscious consumerism has not been fully realized. Paul Rice has dedicated his career to helping consumers and businesses embrace the power they have to protect the environment and improve the lives of farmers and workers on the far side of our global supply chains. In Every Purchase Matters, Rice reveals the untold story of the fair-trade movement and its significance for us all. Calling on the close relationships he cultivated over the last 40 years with the pioneers of ethical sourcing—CEOs, activists, grassroots farmer leaders, and consumer advocates—Rice gives voice to the visionaries and practitioners who are making sustainable business the new normal. These protagonists share successes and failures, lessons learned, and their extraordinary impact in communities around the world. Their stories illuminate how sustainability is good not only for people and planet but also for business. Whether you're a consumer, a business leader, or an investor, Rice offers a rich and persuasive case for conscious capitalism—the change it has brought and the potential it still has to create a more just, equitable, and sustainable world.

President Trump's tariffs are designed to disrupt global trade. The new trade barriers will be perilous for small, heavily indebted countries in the Global South, increasing poverty and human suffering. What will happen to fair trade? Paul Rice joins us. He is the founder of Fair Trade USA. His new book is "Every Purchase Matters: How Fair Trade Farmers, Companies, and Consumers Are Changing the World."

I find people who are seeking to evolve personally, greatly desire to contribute to humanity. The people in need are endless and there are global plights that we feel impotent to address. What I've come to learn is how much good we can do with our simple grocery store purchases. This isn't an ad, just my normal curiosity in evolving myself and maturing my impact in this world. Paul Rice founded Fair Trade and just came out with a book about it. I've known vaguely about Fair Trade but didn't realize what it really meant. In this conversation you'll hear Paul's story about living in Nicaragua for a decade to help small coffee farmers. Then coming back to America to create Fair Trade and how it helps people and really doesn't cost us any more. You can literally walk into your grocery store and look for a product like cherry tomatoes, and for no greater price, buy the ones with the Fair Trade stamp, and know you are helping a truckload of people live a sustainable life and treat the earth well. You'll learn all you need about converting some of your purchases to Fair Trade, right in this episode. I also really enjoyed getting to know Paul. I may be joining him in Costa Rica later in the year to visit some coffee farmers and work to spread the message.

“Every Purchase Counts” by Paul Rice On today's show, I'll start the hour off with the latest report by Climate Integrity's Richard Wiles entitled, “PREMIUMS ON FIRE: How State Farm's California rate hike forces the rising costs of climate disasters onto policyholders instead of the Big Oil companies fueling the crisis”.  We'll switch gears and speak to author and Fair Trade founder Paul Rice on his book entitled, “EVERY PURCHASE MATTERS: How Fair Trade Farmers, Companies, and Consumers Are Changing the World” out on April 8. The post Fair Trade & State Farm appeared first on KPFA.

If you've ever paused at the grocery store, looked at a Fair Trade label, and wondered what it really means—this episode is for you. Paul Rice, the founder and CEO of Fair Trade USA, has spent over two decades proving that ethical sourcing isn't just the right thing to do—it's also good business. He shares how his time living in rural Nicaragua reshaped his understanding of dignity, aid, and the power of markets. He takes us inside the early criticisms Fair Trade faced, how farmers themselves responded, and why he believes we're at a pivotal moment in the evolution of conscious capitalism. We'll also discuss his new book, Every Purchase Matters, and how businesses, consumers, and policymakers alike can create meaningful change—starting with the choices we make every day.

It might be Liberation Day today, but according to Paul Rice, founder of US Fair Trade and author of Every Purchase Matters, Trump's tariffs are dumb. Rice firmly distances Fair Trade from Trump's controversial trade policies, calling them "backward" and "bad for American business." He explains how Fair Trade - which has expanded beyond coffee to include 40 products, from produce to furniture - certifies products through rigorous standards ensuring workers receive fair wages and environmental protections. Every purchase does indeed matter. And, in contrast with Trump's short sighted tariffs, Rice's Fair Trade movement is worth celebrating today. Five Key Takeaways * Fair Trade is fundamentally different from Trump's tariff policies - Rice strongly distinguishes between Trump's "big stick diplomacy" approach to trade and Fair Trade's focus on equitable market transactions that benefit workers and the environment.* Fair Trade certification involves rigorous standards - Products earn certification through a 200-point checklist covering social, labor, and environmental criteria, with independent annual audits ensuring compliance.* Sustainable products don't necessarily cost more - Rice challenges the "fallacy" that ethical products must be more expensive, citing companies like NatureSuite that have adopted Fair Trade standards without raising consumer prices.* The Fair Trade movement is expanding rapidly - What began with coffee has grown to encompass approximately 40 product categories including tea, produce, apparel, furniture, and even cosmetics, with fresh produce being the fastest-growing segment (32% growth last year).* Ethical consumption is a form of everyday activism - Rice promotes the idea that Every Purchase Matters, suggesting consumers can "vote for change" through their purchasing decisions rather than waiting for political elections.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

God has an excellent way of designing cycles. You may have learned about the water cycle and life cycles in grade school, but beyond the physical cycles of God's creation, the Bible also speaks on spiritual cycles. One of the most vital spiritual cycles in our daily lives is the cycle of generosity. This week, Paul Rice teaches the importance of fostering and continuing the cycle of generosity with those around us. God loves us so much that He allows His blessings to be moved through our hands, so when we choose to give or receive generously, it halts the Lord's cycle. We are reminded to submit and sacrifice in order to see the glory of God come in our lives and the lives of those around us! Be blessed!

He heard about the fair trade movement gaining steam in Europe and decided to try the model in Nicaragua, with great success. In this episode of Logistics with Purpose, Paul joins host Enrique Alvarez to talk about how fair trade supply chains work and the kind of change they can user in for participating communities and families.Additional Links & Resources:Learn more about Logistics with Purpose: https://supplychainnow.com/program/logistics-with-purposeLearn more about Vector Global Logistics: https://vectorgl.com/Subscribe to Logistics with Purpose: https://logistics-with-purpose.captivate.fm/listenThis episode was hosted by Enrique Alvarez.

Yield: The Little Sign That Could The familiar downward pointing triangle that allows traffic to keep flowing rather than stopping sprang from the mind of a Tulsa cop. No one gave his sign much respect, but he set out to prove them all wrong. withinpodcast.com Our sponsors:  jandjpoolsafety@gmail.com Music: The Right Direction by Shane Ivers Martin Mountain Coffee: Small Batch Roaster for an Artisan Cup of Coffee!

Thanks for joining me here on the show where the Indian Territory, the Ozark Mountains and the Great Plains collide. Because of the great amount of diversity, culturally, geographically and in experience that's found here, anything is Within The Realm of possibility. Some times the things in the world around us have become so common place, so much a part of how we do things, we're not sure where they came from or even anything about their beginnings. Today's episode is about such a thing, something that makes it a little safer for you to get from place to place. After these words about our sponsors, we'll get into Oklahoma's contribution to traffic control signs. (music/Commercials) It's good to have you back for another installment of Within The Realm. It's my goal to take the next few minutes to entertain you and maybe lay a little knowledge on you that you didn't already know. Today's subject is traffic signs, one in particular actually. It's the Red and White triangle with the word Yield written across it. It the thing that makes a traffic circle work, not bringing us to a stop, necessarily, but providing drivers with the instruction to watch it in association with other cars on the road. It might be hard for a motorist in the third decade of the twenty-first century to think of a time with out the uniform traffic signs we have now, but everything has a beginning. It was 1939 and Oklahoma Highway Patrolman Clinton Riggs was participating in a fellowship at Northwestern Traffic Institute in Chicago. One topic of discussion was the problem of motorists rolling through uncontrolled intersections, causing accidents and injuries. The discussion became a class assignment on how best to address the problem. In the next several days, Patrolman Riggs presented his idea for a sign, there was already the stop sign that stopped traffic all together. No, Riggs's idea was for signage that would allow traffic to continue to flow until one motorist needed to give the right-of-way to another vehicle. The sign he suggested was a keystone shaped sign with a solitary word on it – Yield. It was generally panned by the class as hard to understand and somewhat unnecessary as laws, laws misunderstood and ignored by motorists, were already on the books to determine fault in accidents where drivers did not yeild. The fellowship ended and Riggs rejoined the Tulsa Police Department, served in the Second World War and returned home in one piece. A lot had happened since his suggestion of the Yeild sign, but he not forgotten it. He was still very much convinced of it's usefulness. . His Chicago detractors had convinced his to change the sign's wording to “SLOW Yield Right Of Way.” It wasn't only his class mates that thought little of his traffic control sign. The Tulsa City attorney dismissed it and the National Safety Council, to whom Riggs had sent a drawing of his sign, ignored it. By 1950, Riggs had worked his way up to an assistant chief position with the Tulsa Police Department. He noted that the intersection of First Street and Columbia Avenue , an unmarked intersection, was the most dangerous crossraods in Tulsa. Without any official permission, he and city engineer Paul Rice erected the first Yeild Right of Way Sign. The sign had retained it's keystone shape and had black letters on a yellow background so the sign could be better seen in the dark. Despite what the naysayers believed, that very first installation of yeild signs decreased traffic accidents to basically zero. Similar results were experienced at the other nine intersections Riggs and Rice had also placed signs. Other cities copied the idea with their own variations of shapes and colors until the yeild sign was adopted a four short years later by the MUTCD – the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices. The formally adopted sign was tweaked to the familiar downward pointing triangle with Yeild written upon it's yellow background. In 1971, the sign was changed to its current red and white triangle with red lettering. Riggs passed away in 1997 In Tulsa after having introduced other innovations to the Police Department and earning a law degree, The original Keystone shaped sign hangs in the Smithsonian Institute in Washington DC. So what does this sign that not a stop sign and quite a yellow light do for us. It is quite genius, allowiing traffic to flow until it doesn't need to. Even though it met with a lot of opposition from experts in the field, Rigg's impetuous installations and their positive results couldn't be ignored. It took only four years for the signs to go from geurilla traffic control to industry standard. Is the main take away from this story believe in your ideas even when no one else will or go ahead, show them all your idea will work. I'll let you decide and I'd like to hear your thoughts on the matter. Until then, whenever you slowdown at a yield sign remember at one time it was a good idea no one else could see the benefit of.

SCN Change Agent Interview Series - Meet Paul Rice Paul Rice is Founder & CEO of Fair Trade USA, the internationally-acclaimed social enterprise and leading certifier of Fair Trade products in North America. He launched the award-winning nonprofit organization in 1998 after spending 11 years organizing farmers in the highlands of Nicaragua. There he founded and led the country's first Fair Trade coffee export cooperative, which introduced him to the transformative power of market-based approaches to sustainable development. Paul then returned to the United States to obtain his MBA from Berkeley Haas with the dream of bringing Fair Trade to consumers, businesses and farmers worldwide. People called him crazy in the beginning, but Paul had a bold vision for Fair Trade: from his years in Nicaragua, he knew that farmers and workers could learn to navigate the global market and empower themselves on a journey out of poverty. He believed that business could become a major force for social and environmental change, creating “shared value” and sustainability with profitability. He envisioned a consumer awakening and recognition that everyday purchases can impact the world for the better. In short, Paul believed deeply that the Fair Trade movement would have a major impact on the world and also help propel a much larger, lasting shift toward Conscious Capitalism.

Paul Rice, the CEO and founder of Fair Trade USA, has spent his career making a huge difference in the lives of farmers and growers. In this episode, he sits down with Bree Jenkins to share his learning journey dedicated to social change, which includes buying a one-way ticket to Nicaragua, where he started and led the country’s first fair trade co-op and ended up staying for 11 years. He discusses how sustainability and social responsibility are the real drivers of success, and he calls us to find any and all creative ways to bring purpose into business, what some call conscious capitalism. Episode Quotes: --------------- *On Fair Trade:* “And here's the secret sauce of fair trade. We require that brands and retailers pay more money back to the farm owner or the factory owner. We're not saying be more sustainable y'all, and the cost of that is your problem. That's not what we're saying. We're saying more sustainable. Treat your workers right. And take care of your environment, and the consumer is going to help pay for that through the retailers.” *On his experience with projects funded by international aid:* “I worked on a lot of really well-intentioned projects that were funded by international aid. And I'll tell you, I got really disillusioned with it. It wasn't really very effective, in my experience, in helping farmers develop their own capacity to solve their own problems and helping them to think about markets.” *On Social Change:* “I think about social change, not in terms of years, but in terms of decades. We're definitely playing the long game.” Show Links: ----------- • LinkedIn ( https://www.linkedin.com/in/pauldrice/ ) • Fair Trade Certified ( https://www.fairtradecertified.org/about-us ) Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/onehaas/donations

Recorded September 27th, 2020. We are delighted to have Peter Hooton on the podcast. The chat ranges from Bill Shankly to Sadio Mane and from Joe Strummer of the Clash to Eric Cantona. We name check Wade Smith, Geoff Twentyman (an important figure in Liverpool's successful history) and Big Audio Dynamite. Of course we mention his band, the Farm. Peter is the author of 'The Boot Room Boys' - based around a series of rare photos of the boot room and the wider Liverpool FC story. This includes the Paisley/Emlyn Hughes photo that was used for the Paisley statue now outside Anfield. Emlyn also shows up in Peter's best Liverpool 11. He offers some insight into how Liverpool fell off their perch (maybe earlier than is generally acknowledged. The rediscovery of Northern Soul is partly responsible for our resurgence. He also talks about Spirit of Shankly and the challenging Hicks and Gillette years. And shares insights around Paul Rice that were new to us. Along the way we get to reference 3/4 time and the bizarre UK licensing laws that sustained through the 70s and 80s. #LoveSeeNoColor #YNWA #WadeSmithLiverpool #TheFarm #TheBootRoomBoys

Paul Rice has devoted his life to trying to give the farmers who grow our food a fairer shake. That crusade has taken him from the coffee farms of Nicaragua to founding his own certification program for fair trade that now certifies a wide variety of products you probably buy all the time, from coffee and tea to sugar and even clothing.

Ep. 78: Paul Rice – founder, President & CEO of Fair Trade, USA. – ft. co-host Jennifer Hashley, founder of New Market Farming project  || What about the folks producing our food? Tune in to episode 78 to hear from Paul Rice, founder, President & CEO of Fair Trade USA, the social enterprise and leading certifier of Fair Trade products in North America. On a mission to impact social and environmental good, Fair Trade USA celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2018. Since its launch, Fair Trade USA and its partners have generated almost $500 million in additional income for farmers and workers in more than 70 countries worldwide, allowing them to keep their kids in school, care for the land and steadily improve their livelihoods. Fair Trade USA sets standards that farms, fisheries and factories must be audited against in order to be called Fair Trade Certified. With a beginning in coffee, the organization now certifies over thirty commodities. A timely conversation as the global coffee market price is at a ten year low, Paul shares what Fair Trade is continuing to do to improve farmer livelihoods and enact long term sustainable development. He’ll talk about what Fair Trade for all means to him and the organization and the power of collective bargaining. The Fair Trade USA seafood program just celebrated it’s 5th anniversary and he will share how it came to be and the importance of contributing to the seafood sustainability space. Lastly will check in on the vision for the future and how Fair Trade aligns with the conscious consumer of today. BIO: He launched the award-winning nonprofit organization in 1998 after spending 11 years organizing farmers in the highlands of Nicaragua. There he founded and led the country’s first Fair Trade coffee export cooperative, which introduced him to the transformative power of market-based approaches to sustainable development. Paul Rice then returned to the United States to obtain his MBA from Berkeley Haas with the dream of bringing Fair Trade to consumers, businesses and farmers worldwide.   PAUL RICE –  ep. 78:  FAIR TRADE FOR ALL People called him crazy in the beginning, but Paul had a bold vision for Fair Trade: from his years in Nicaragua, he knew that farmers and workers could learn to navigate the global market and empower themselves on a journey out of poverty. He believed that business could become a major force for social and environmental change, creating “shared value” and sustainability with profitability. He envisioned a consumer awakening and recognition that everyday purchases can impact the world for the better. In short, Paul believed deeply that the Fair Trade movement would have a major impact on the world and also help propel a much larger, lasting shift toward Conscious Capitalism.   Twenty years later, Fair Trade has grown into a widely-known and increasingly mainstream consumer trend that is rapidly approaching an inflection point. In 2016, consumer recognition of the Fair Trade Certified label reached 67% and U.S. retail sales of Fair Trade products grew to an estimated $6 billion.  Paul and his team have enlisted the support of over 1,300 companies, including market leaders like Green Mountain, Starbucks, Nespresso, General Mills, PepsiCo, Whole Foods, Costco, Target and Walmart. Fair Trade USA now certifies coffee, tea, cocoa, sugar, coconut, fresh fruits and vegetables. Most recently, through groundbreaking partnerships with Patagonia, West Elm and Gap Inc., Fair Trade has begun certifying apparel and home furnishings to improve working conditions and incomes for factory workers.   Paul’s rich, first-hand experience over the last 30 years in the areas of sustainable agriculture, grassroots economic development, global supply chain transparency and consumer activation is unique in the certification world. He is now a leading advocate of “impact sourcing” as a core strategy for both poverty alleviation and sustainable business. Paul has been honored for his pioneering work by Ashoka, the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship, Fast Company Magazine’s Social Capitalist of the Year award (four-time winner), Ethisphere’s 100 Most Influential in Business Ethics, Entrepreneur magazine’s Entrepreneur of the Year (2012 Finalist) and the Skoll Award for Social Entrepreneurship. The Texas-native holds an Economics and Political Science degree from Yale University and an MBA from the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley, where he is now an Executive Fellow. Paul has spoken at the World Economic Forum, Clinton Global Initiative, Skoll World Forum, TEDx and universities & conferences around the world. summary by:   Mel Bandler Retail Partnerships @ FairTrade USA   www.SourcingMatters.show

It was once thought that a company could be either profitable or sustainable, but not both. But as Paul Rice, CEO of Fair Trade USA, explains, the future of business is quite the opposite. With the rise of Conscious Capitalism and Conscious Consumerism, businesses will thrive by serving all stakeholders, including the environment and those at the very beginning of the supply chain.

For Marcus Samuelsson, finding the inspiration to cook new and interesting food is often as simple as opening the front door. Outside, the acclaimed chef, restaurateur and television personality sees a country brimming with vibrant cultures and, with it, an opportunity to learn from their cuisines. His perspective is rooted in the PBS TV series, “No Passport Required,” which Samuelsson hosts. An exploration of the diverse spectrum of immigrant cultures and food in America, the show takes viewers on a road trip across the U.S. Samuelsson’s travels have taken him down new paths of discovery, such as exploring the influence on the Arab-American community in Detroit or diving into the flavors and heritage of Miami’s Haitian community.. “What inspires me is people and the fact that we’re not that different,” Samuelsson said in an interview included in this episode. “We have rituals that may look different depending on where you are in the world, but we all want to have a great meal.” Samuelsson believes that embedded within any great meal is a foundation of sustainable ingredients and of fair wages for the farmers and workers that grow them. His stance has aligned him with product certifier Fair Trade USA, whose recent 20th anniversary celebration in New York City was the setting of our interview. Listen our full conversation with Samuelsson for a discussion about his work with the organization and his take on the most important factors driving change in the restaurant business, as well as the advice he has for newcomers to the food business -- including his younger self. Also included in this episode: a conversation with Fair Trade USA founder and CEO Paul Rice. On the anniversary of the organization’s two decades in existence, Rice discussed the origins of Fair Trade USA, how it has aligned with companies to generate over a half-billion dollars in additional income for farmers and workers and how it plans to effect change in a variety of industries over the next 20 years.   Show notes: 3:05: Interview: Marcus Samuelsson, Chef/Owner, Red Rooster Harlem; Host, “No Passport Required” -- Samuelsson is perhaps best recognized from his numerous appearances on foodie TV shows including “Top Chef Masters,” “Chopped,” and “The Taste.” Born in Ethiopia and raised in Sweden, he first caught the attention of the culinary world at the age of 24, and is known for infusing culture and art into his style of cooking. He’s the owner and head chef of the acclaimed Red Rooster Harlem in New York City along with several other restaurants across the world. Marcus is also a philanthropist, actively involved in UNICEF and a socially conscious entrepreneur, aligning himself with organizations like Fair Trade USA. BevNET’s Ray Latif met up with Samuelsson in New York City, at the celebration of Fair Trade USA’s 20th anniversary, where they spoke about his involvement and shared values with the non-profit. They also discussed the role that nature plays in his style of cooking, the inspiration behind his new TV show “No Passport Required,” which explores immigrant culture and cuisine in America, and the evolution of the U.S. restaurant business and his take on the role and impact of foodie journalism. 20:01: Interview: Paul Rice, Founder/CEO, Fair Trade USA -- It’s been 20 years since Rice dreamed up the idea of an organization that could certify and set standards for products that promote fair wages for coffee farmers and protect the environment. Fair Trade USA has since played an influential role in how companies across the food and beverage industry source ingredients and market their brands.
