Did you know that it is Fairtrade Fortnight? Running from 24 February to 9 March, this is the annual celebration by Fairtrade of their work in ensuring producers, particularly in developing nations, do not get exploited. They get a fair price for the goods they produce, rather than being beaten down by the continual drive to lower prices in our shops.Here at Frampton, we are pleased to say we are doing our bit to help. If you stop off at the visitor centre, you will notice most of the food and drink has the Fairtrade logo on it. All the tea and coffee, hot chocolate, cartons of fruit juice and even the bottles of cola are all Fairtrade. As are most of the cakes. Even the sachets of sugar to put in your tea and coffee are Fairtrade. We also only drink Fairtrade drinks in the office.
So well done to the Fairtrade movement, and I hope you will join us in supporting them.
