Fair Trade Fortnight is upon us, and here in the Peppermint office we’re coming up with different ways to get involved. Thankfully, there are hundreds of ideas at Fair Trade Fortnight’s website to give us all a little nudge in the right direction. Swapping to Fair Trade can make huge and real difference to farmers, workers and families around the world. If you’re interested in finding out more, why not show off your fair trade way of life by attending one of the events that are being held across the country for Fair Trade Fortnight. An added benefit to showing off your swap is the chance to win some awesome prizes. Fancy a 10kg block of fair trade-certified milk chocolate? Um, yes please…
