We only have one Earth

WFTD is a wonderful opportunity to spread the Fair Trade message as there are far too many people in the World that don't know about it.

It is also important for those involved in Fair Trade to speak with one voice and send one message so this day is a perfect opportunity to do just that.

We have all our press fully involved in the day and they have already written a number of articles on Fair Trade already. We have planned a full week of articles starting on Monday 5th May
Monday-What is Fair Trade & About WFTD:
Tuesday-What Fair Trade Means To Me (Consumers and Producers)
Wednesday- The Fair Trade Companies of Swaziland
Thursday-Coverage of Tintsaba's events
Friday-Coverage of Swazi Secrets World Marula Nut Cracking Competition
Saturday-Coverage of Gone Rural, Swazi Can and Swazi Candles Orchard planting day.

Making the theme "The Environment" is excellent as it is in the forefront of everyone's mind right now and we only have one Earth.

It is going to be a wonderful week of educating the public, sharing the message and then doing something valuable for the environment.

WFTD will focus attention on both Fair Trade and the environment this year and when you have a collective consciousness great changes can be brought about.
