Think globally, act locally... The way you shop affects people in developing countries, so ethical purchasing really is a way to take a stand for Trade Justice. Look out for these products & many more in your local Oxfam shop, high street, health food stores, cafés and supermarkets.

High Standards - Great Products - Real Change The FAIRTRADE mark is unique. Choosing to purchase Fair Trade goods offers a real, practical option to strike a blow against the corporate empires. It guarantees farmers in developing countries a fair price for their products which covers their costs. It also ensures decent working conditions and a long term link up between buyer and seller and because the price is stable it enables them to plan for their future. It could mean a family in Guatemala or Botswana has money to send a child to school, or that a village can open a health centre or dig a well. Today more than 5 million farmers, workers and their families across 49 developing countries benefit from the international Fairtrade system. All of this thanks to you choosing to spend a few extra pennies on your bananas or coffee - and there's no compromise on quality!
