Fairtrade in Stanford
Do you want to ensure that the people who produce the things you buy get a fair wage? The Fairtrade Mark is your independent guarantee that internationally agreed standards of Fairtrade have been met.
The range of Fairtrade certified products available in the UK is growing all the time - currently over 500 retail and 200 catering products have been awarded the Fairtrade Mark. This includes fresh fruit, snack bars, sugar and footballs as well as the popular hot drinks and chocolate. The British public are becoming increasingly aware that they can influence working conditions and poverty in the developing world by choosing ethical products. Sales of Fairtrade products are growing at the impressive rate of almost 50% per year.
Faringdon became a Fairtrade Town in February 2004. Businesses, shops, churches and community organisations in and around Faringdon have all contributed to the growth of Fairtrade in the area.
What can you do?
Increase sales!
Ask at your local shops for fairly traded goods. Already some of these are stocked locally. Ask for a greater range to be included. When eating or drinking out, ask for Fairtrade tea and coffee.
Increase your own use!
Use fairly traded tea, coffee and other products at home. We think you'll like the taste! Introduce the use of Fairtrade tea and coffee at your club or society, or your place of work.
