FAIRTRADE FORTNIGHT – 27th February – 11th March…

Fair trade

Fairtraide fortnight is a chance to get involved and shout about all things Fairtrade!!!

Its about improving trade for farmers in developing countries by ensuring they get better prices and better working conditions. It helps to improve their lives and prevent discrimination against poorer producers.

Boostingawareness of this will help to get the Fairtrade Message heard. ‘2012’s theme is ‘Take a Step’ by simply swapping your usual groceries for a Fairtrade brand. (I swapped my usual supermarket roses for some fairtrade ones yesterday).

For more details and lots of ideas on how to raise awareness go to the website http://www.fairtrade.org.uk/

I am a mum and wife to a lovely caring family. I’ve suffered with chronic back pain for over 30 years and started writing my first blog in 2007 which covered back and chronic pain. Since then I have written many more blogs for myself and customers. I find it takes me away from my pain to another place. I love it so much I think it should be part of a recovery process after illness or surgery. I hope you enjoy reading through my blogs.

  2. I’m a Fairtrade fan, Barbara, so thanks for flagging this up! And some people might not know that it’s possible also to buy ‘fairtrade clothes’ – eg M and S do tee shirts made of fairly traded cotton.

    And fairtrade drinking chocolate is especially nice! :yes:
