„A campaign to boost consumer understanding of fair trade could shortly be coming to a town centre near you. The British Association for Fair Trade Shops (BAFTS), which has 52 member stores throughout the country, is running the project with RISC, the Reading International Solidarity Centre. The emphasis will be on the people behind the products, enabling producers to tell their own stories through leaflets, posters, teaching materials and a website. Project co-ordinator Aileen Garden said: "The prominent location of many Fair Trade shops means they have an invaluable opportunity to act as an educational ‘shop window’ for the whole fair trade movement." To find out more or locate your nearest BAFTS shop, call 0191 386 7948.“

„A video and education pack is on offer from the British Association for Fair trade Shops (BAFTS) and their fair trade partners in Europe. The 10 minute animated video, "For a Few Pesos More", follows the conventional market journey of coffee, cocoa, bananas and cotton from the farmer to our supermarket shelves and presents the positive fair trade alternative. The video includes a catchy fair trade song. Orders to Jokey Lloyd on 01279 416327.“

„"And that is attracting more and more British consumers to Fairtrade. The public are increasingly suspicious of the froth of a global cappuccino economy, growing larger on unreal speculations, and futures markets divorced from what is happening to the people who grow our foods."“
