Fair Trade can improve a place by supplying work and/or better wages to small communities or disenfranchised people groups. For example, some FT companies specifically help poor widows or people who’ve been victims of human trafficking or political oppression. As a structure Fair trade operates under several principles & guidelines: http://www.fairtradefederation.org/ht/d/sp/i/8447/pid/8447.

Environment: many crafters use reclaimed, recycled, or renewable materials to create a craft or organic farming methods for food. And since most work is done by hand, there is limited (electric, gas, etc) energy being used to make a product.
