Trade is Bananas!

This is the most popular campaign
You spend 15p on a banana. The farmer who grew it receives around 2p of that. Is this really fair? Farmers are getting a poor deal and receiving pittance for their hard work. But, by buying fairly traded products, you can put an end to that and change lives! Fair trade could reduce world poverty. You can support farmers by buying products that have been fairly traded. Companies need to give farmers a fair deal. I want to encourage companies to engage in fair trade and encourage people to buy fairly traded products. This way we can support those people who are living in poverty as a result of unfair trade deals. We can help the poorest communities to get health programmes and build schools and roads, just through fair trade. Together, we can pull people out of poverty. All you have to do is BUY FAIR TRADE!

SHOUT ABOUT BATTLEFRONT
Everyone loves a nice badge. Especially badgers, for whom they are the primary source of income. Those furry little craftsmen have knocked up a particularly natty Battlefront one which you can stick on Bebo, MySpace, Facebook or your own website to show your support.
Just copy and paste the code below into your website – just like embedding a YouTube player – and then anyone who clicks it will be sent to the Battlefront site, and your page will look at least ninety times as snazzy.
I agree! My school runs a Cafod group which in turn runs a Fairtrade stall. We make over a hundred pounds, going on for 200.. every friday (which is the day we open it up) and obviously some of that has to go on purchasing stock but certainly not all of it, and the rest of it we send back to Cafod so that they can use it to help communities too.
