It has been a quiet morning but this evening I will attending the Castle Pub in Newport for a talk be the Isle of Wight Euro MP, Dr Caroline Lucas. I managed to interview her prior to her talk, and again I will show you this on dvd in a few weeks on the site, however the message was clear. As a representative of the Green Party, they prioritise the needs of people and the planet over the interests of governments and big business - that means defending the human rights and working for peace and security.They also strongly support the Fairtrade idea and believe that the simple act of buying Fairtrade has a positive impact on farmers and producers. Too many farmers in the developing world have to contend with fluctuating prices that may not even cover what it costs to produce their crop. Fairtrade companies buy direct from farmers at better prices, helping to strengthen their organisation and marketing their produce directly. Offering consumers the opportunity to buy products which are brought on the basis of a fair trade. Its interesting to note that Fairtrade is not just food, clothing is now high up there. The activities of all who work in the industry whether designers or buyers affect workers all over the world. Now the industry is starting to take notice Top Shop is about to produce its own Fair Trade fashion line and jeans coloured with organic dyes are soon to hit the shops in the UK after their amazing success in New York.
