If you can do ONE thing to protect children

[tortoiseSHELL]

have a look here

If you want to do ONE thing to protect children (and it really will), buy only fair trade chocolate, or that on the 'good chocolate guide' here. This is a concrete thing you can do which WILL help protect children.

I don't want this to be another of 'those' threads, but it seems we all want to protect children and this is a really easy thing we can all do. Read the webpage, and have a think. It will make a difference to children!

good thread ts

It is heartening to see how many Fair Trade products are out there now.I bought jam this week.

I put Fair Trade chocolate into my dd's party bags and quite a few parents appreciated it.

lidl are are starting a fair trade line too this week

I used to buy Green & Blacks but it no longer has the fairtrade logo on it - does that meant that it is not ethically sourced anymore?

Anyone know?

Good thread

Maya Gold is fairtrade but I don't think other G+B products are

I only buy fair trade anyway , but I had no idea!!!!!!!! Will make sure more people know

So what is the best fairtrade chocolate?

I don't like the co-op range - I find it bland, even the dark choccie!

Please read this and bump, it is something everyone should be aware of!

mark and spencer fair trad dark chocolate is good.

i got some asda fairtrade drinking chocolate this week and it was heavenly.

great thread TS

It's just something that's SO easy to do, just requires a bit of thought at the shop, but it really could make a difference. Apparently 50% of chocolate is produced using trafficked child slave labour.

Fair trade coffee and tea, too!

Rantum, Divine fairtrade choc is quite nice too.

tbh thats one way that mn has changed me. i buy fairtrade now. grown a social conscience iykwim. i cared before but was.nt affected

I've just realised that not all Green and Black's is fairtrade, I'd somehow been under the misapprehension that it is. I will have to check more carefully.

Lidl starting fair trade? Good for them.

thanks for this thread tortoishell,

I bought my daughter a fair trade jacket in Sainsbury's last week. I didn't realise it was FC at first but it is very nice.

the fairtrade cotton babylothes in marks are lovely.

We buy as much as we can fairtrade, including gifts. I have bought some lovely fairtrade jewellery and bought dd some lovely things for her bedroom.
