Hello peeps
Welcome to Fairtrade fortnight – 4 days late but a big welcome all the same 
Sorry I haven’t been updating you on the fairtrade blog, but rest assured I have been swapping my shopping for Fairtrade, and can’t wait to tell you about the cool stuff I’ve swapped. If any of you lovely people have found any unusual items please let me know in the comments section.
I am hoping also to do some vlogging -(video blogging to the uninitiated), my technical support guy (my better half), has been very busy and unfortunately I can’t manage it on my own!! But watch this space as the weekend is almost upon us, and you may get a visual blog as well.
First things first don’t forget to register your swaps on the Fairtrade Foundation website. (click on the name and it should take you there).
My first swap I want to tell you about is…..tea and coffee. I can’t actually swap my drinks for a Fairtrade brand as all my tea n coffee is already Fairtrade (and yes that includes green tea.) There are many brands out there to choose from like clipper and cafe direct . But many supermarkets have there own brand tea and coffee . All Coop and Sainsbury’s own brand tea and coffee is Fairtrade. Think how good it makes you feel drinking tea you know is making a difference to poor communities in the world. If you have a favourite fairtrade cupper, let me know in the comments below.
love n hugs
c u tomorrow
