Fairtrade Fortnight

IT CAN BE A SIMPLE STEP

Like swapping your tea to Fairtrade, or a bigger step, like asking everyone in your office to do it too.

YOU’LL BE JOINING THOUSANDS OF OTHERS

All over Ireland when you take a step for Fairtrade. Make it as inventive, daring, funny or messy as you like. Every step counts for millions of farmers, workers and their communities in developing countries who urgently need a better deal from trade.

MAKE YOUR STEP COUNT FOR COTTON FARMERS

See the steps others are taking and find out where all these steps will lead. Take a step for Fairtrade in 2012 begins with Fairtrade Fortnight from 27 February - 11 March 2012.
