As we come to the last few days of Fairtrade Fortnight, there’s still plenty of activities you can get involved in. By choosing Fairtrade, you are helping farmers gain a fair price for their produce & efforts as well as helping the issue of climate change.
Make the switch to Fairtrade & Support our Producers! 🍌🍫☕
Next time you visit Your Co-op Food store, why not swap one of your basket items for a Fairtrade alternative? You can choose from coffee to tea, fruit and flowers, wine and even ice cream!
They’re delicious too, so don’t just make the switch for Fairtrade Fortnight, make your 1Change a change for good.
Just lookout for the Fairtrade Mark – found only on products certified by Fairtrade.
It means that the product you are buying gives a better deal to the farmers and workers involved in its production and that sustainable farming methods have been used for the benefit of the environment.
Make your 1Change pledge here!
