Fairtrade Fortnight 2007 - What we did in  Glossopdale

Munch it! Wear It! Taste it! Choose it!

Change Today. Choose Fairtrade.  This was the call to people in Glossopdale to engage with the Fairtrade Foundation’s vision of an even bigger movement for positive change on unfair trade, including making the switch to buying Fairtrade.  This was the theme of Fairtrade Fortnight 2007 (26 February – 11 March), the annual promotional campaign of the Fairtrade Foundation which aimed to encourage people to buy products carrying the FAIRTRADE Mark.
