Almost forgot. Soon, it’ll be Fairtrade Fortnight.
Fairtrade has improved the lives of millions of people - farmers, workers and their families - in developing countries. But, we need to keep promoting Fairtrade to ensure people know that buying Fairtrade products can make a positive difference.
If you’re not normally into this stuff, then come on, just try it for a week. What’s a week to you? You never know, it might help people out. Yes, I know there are some questions about the limitations to economic models of fairtrade products, but for a couple of weeks, fuck ‘em and buy some stuff.

Count me in. Shame I bought my fairtrade coffee from the supermarket rather than my local Oxfam today, but needs must when the editing needs doing and the shops are too far.

You’re forgiven.
I’m sure it doesn’t matter where it’s bought from. In an era of consumerism, a little selective buying goes a long way…
