Time to help farmers get a fair and stable price for their products, strengthen the position of developing countries in the world markets and forge a closer link between you and the producers. You’re yawning? Yeah, it sounds pretty do-gooding and worthy, but in fact it can well and truly be FUN. Which is why you need to know that this year, Fairtrade Fortnight will run from 26th Feb - 11th March. A great chance to persuade your fellow citizens to make yours a “Fairtrade Town” and do a quiz at your local (download the questions from the Fairtrade site). Best of all, though, you can stuff your face with delicious Fairtrade chocolate (there are over 20 brands to choose from now) and feel worthy at the same time! So don’t forget - choose products with the FAIRTRADE mark…so much the better if it’s not just for a fortnight.
