Speaks Out: Fair Trade coffee

Would you pay an extra 10 cents for fair trade coffee at ASUCLA coffee houses?

Ashley Daum
Third-year, communication studies and English
“If I drank coffee I would (buy fair trade). I don’t drink coffee, I normally drink tea.”

Lisa Krieg
First-year, German
“It doesn’t really matter to me. I don’t really taste a difference or anything.”

Olivia Angeles
Fourth-year, history
“Because it’s 10 cents I don’t think I would care that much. If it was a lot more, I don’t think people would (pay).”

Peter Duong
Second-year, mathematics and economics
“I don’t think (I would buy fair trade). Does it change the quality of the coffee? Is it just a label? If it’s just a label, I don’t mind as long as the quality of the coffee and taste doesn’t change.”
