Fairtrade Fortnight starts today....

Fairtrade Fortnight - The BIG Swap

Fairtrade Fortnight starts today and lasts until 7th March. This year, the Fairtrade Foundation is asking the nation to join in The Big Swap. For two whole weeks they'll be asking you to swap your usual stuff for Fairtrade stuff. Your usual bananas for Fairtrade bananas, your usual cotton socks for Fairtrade cotton socks, and your usual cuppa for a Fairtrade cuppa. Whenever you pop to the shops you can use your wallet to make a stand. All swaps can be registered on their website and the target to reach is one million and one!

For more information about what you can do and how you can get involved can be found on the Fairtrade Foundation website at www.fairtrade.org.uk/thebigswap/ . There are also details of all the Big Swap events that are going on around the country, so why not check it out and find one near you now.
