The Fairtrade Foundation’s annual campaign to promote awareness of Fairtrade in the UK and to encourage people to buy products carrying the FAIRTRADE Mark will take place from 23 February – 8 March with the theme Make it happen. Choose Fairtrade.

Harriet Lamb, CEO of the Fairtrade Foundation says: ‘… change is still not happening nearly quickly enough for the millions of the world’s poorest farmers who remain trapped in trade poverty. The challenge now is to urgently scale up the reach and impact of Fairtrade so that by working together, we can succeed in tipping the balance of trade in favour of marginalized farmers and producers. Fairtrade Fortnight is an opportunity for us do something too by holding events at work, at home or in the community.’

Do your bit by buying Fairtrade.  It’s the right choice.  Also, check out the events in your area.  Get involved.
