Fairtrade Day for the World


Hopefully everyone is considering their plan to celebrate for World Fairtrade Day on May 9th. Bit confusing because this event involves more than just the 'food' (and cotton) part of the global Fairtrade movement, but any excuse to get us all to think about where our food and clothes come from is good by us.

Strange how we get up tight about the irish government printing national exam papers in the UK, but we don't mind that all the frozen food we buy has no country of origin at all on it !! Well, it might say 'EU' but then that includes raw material from asia, india, timbuctoo etc 'processed in the EU', so we don't think that should count.

Have a think....and as they say at google, 'do no evil'...
