World Fair Trade Day is a worldwide celebration of Fair Trade and the initiative of the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO). Fair Trade is a tangible and efficient response to poverty, economic and global food crises and climate change. The Fair Trade movement shares a vision of a world in which justice and sustainable development are at the heart of trade structures and practices, which allow for decent work and a dignified livelihood for small producers.

On World Fair Trade Day, hundreds of events will celebrate Fair Trade and trade justice in more than 70 countries around the world. You can find some ideas of how to get involved at http://www.worldfairtradeday.org/ . You can also visit http://www.wfto.com/ for more information.

Fairtrade Fortnight 23rd Feb - 8th March 2009

Fairtrade Fortnight starts on Monday 23rd February and runs until 8th March. Its purpose is to raise awareness of the two billion people – a third of humanity – that still survive on less than $2 a day. Unfair trade rules keep them in poverty, but they face the global challenges of food shortages and climate change too.

Fairtrade is a people’s movement for change that aims to tip the balance of trade in favour of poor producers. We all need Fairtrade more than ever and we all have the power to create positive change for people and planet.

Take part in Fairtrade Fortnight 2009 and play your part by joining a powerful global movement for change!

Between noon on the 6th March and noon on the 7th March, you can also eat a Fairtrade banana and be part of the biggest banana event. Get your family and friends involved too and "Go Bananas!"
