Eating it, buying it, promoting it, campaigning for it - make fairtrade your habit
Eating it, buying it, promoting it, campaigning for it - this year Fairtrade Fortnight is encouraging you to make fairtrade your habit.
With more than 1,300 products from spices to cotton now available, choosing fairly traded goods is easier than ever.
Resources to help you take action during the fortnight, including case studies and ideas, are available at the Fairtrade Foundation website.
To identify Fairtrade products, look out for the Fairtrade marque on items at the Coop and other supermarkets.
For other fairly traded products, these websites are worth visiting.
