Three Steps for you to Support Fairtrade:
- Buy it: whether its wine, chocolate, coffee, fruit, clothes etc look out for the fairtrade mark
- Talk about it: tell your friends and family to make sure they buy fairtrade goods too.
- Ask for it: if your usual shop does not stock fairtrade goods yet, then ask for them.
