Things YOU Can Do to Promote Fair Trade:

1.Buy Fair Trade products
Be informed when buying products. Fair Trade products help lift disadvantaged artisans and farmers out of poverty. When buying non-fair trade products you are unknowingly contributing to the deterioration of the environment, the marginalisation of artisans and farmers and by doing so you are helping widen the gap between rich and poor.
Fair Trade only works if empowered consumers buy Fair Trade products!

2.Take part in this years' Fair Trade events
The Fair Trade concept/movement will be celebrated worldwide throughout May. Come and join us, and learn more about Fair Trade and how you can actively contribute to the Fair Trade movement. To see the list of events, click here.

3.Hold your own events
Why don't you organise an event in your area, at your school, etc... to promote Fair Trade? Please register your events here.

4.Spread the message
Download the World Fair Trade Day logo. Use it in as many creative ways as possible: printing it on your t-shirts, making posters, leaflets, etc... and help spread the message!

5.Send your message to shops and companies!
As a consumer you are influential. Ask your favorite retail shops and stores to stock Fair Trade products. Write to manufacturers to show you care about producers' rights and the environment. Apply pressure on them to make products in a fairer way, which protects producers and the environment. Once manufacturers have been made aware of their customers' expectations, their products and business ethics will change to reflect these.
Make your voice heard and make a difference!
