Juste avant que la pandémie ne frappe, Rémi Tremblay est allé au Honduras visiter une coop de café où la compagnie s’approvisionne. C’était formidable de voir à quel point ça change la donne. La coop, c’était comme une petite société à l’intérieur de la société. Les travailleurs ont pu faire construire des écoles pour les enfants, notamment, et ils envisagent l’avenir autrement grâce au commerce équitable. https://www.latribune.ca//cafe-william-desormais-partout-a via LaTribune.com Café William Spartivento
