City Hippy and Green LA Girl have started the Starbucks Challenge. The challenge is to go into a Starbucks and order and get a fair trade coffee. City Hippy, in the UK, says that:

According to its own policy, Starbucks will make Fair Trade coffee for you, any day of the week, in any of the 23 countries it is licensed to sell Fair Trade including: Australia, Austria, Canada, China, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, the U.K. and the U.S.

They want you to try in your country and then report on what happened.

So I went to my a Starbucks today in Oshawa, Ontario (inside a Chapters) and the mild coffee of the day was Fair Trade. So no challenge was needed!
