The Big Swap The cup that cheers – join in the Big Swap Fairtrade Fortnight 22nd February – 7th March The goal of the Fairtrade Fortnight has always been a simple one: to get more people talking and buying Fairtrade to transform the lives of millions of farming families in developing countries. Fairtrade is a passionate movement for change, tackling poverty and injustice through trade. Two billion people – a third of humanity – survive on less than $2 a day. Unfair trade rules keep them in poverty, but they face the global challenges of food shortages and climate change too. For this year’s Fairtrade Fortnight everyone is invited to join in The Big Swap. The idea is to get people swapping their usual stuff for Fairtrade stuff. Their usual bananas for Fairtrade bananas, their usual cotton socks for Fairtrade cotton socks, and most of all, their usual cuppa for a Fairtrade cuppa. Each and every single swap proves that the people of the UK want producers in the developing world to get a better deal. So whether it’s swapping your sugar or organising a community event, each and every action helps raise the issues that affect farmers, workers and their communities all over the developing world. So please don’t forget to register your swap at thebigswap.org.uk. Every swap counts. |
