This year’s slogan for Fairtrade Fortnight is The Big Swap. All over the UK, people are being asked to swap their usual products for Fairtrade ones. Swap your usual chocolate for a Fairtrade brand. Swap your usual bananas for Fairtrade ones. Buy Fairtrade flowers for a birthday or Valentine’s Day or buy a Fairtrade cotton tee-shirt instead of your usual one. During the 2 weeks of Fairtrade Fortnight, we are asking pupils to bring in the labels from the Fairtrade products they buy and hand them in at registration. The eco group are preparing 6 large posters, one for each house, to put in the foyer. The Fairtrade labels will be stuck to the posters to make a collage. The house with the most labels collected will get house points to add to the celebrating success points which the House Leaders have organised. We will also have some Fairtrade Facts in the bulletin every day and there will be a Fairtrade quiz for pupils to try. The winners will receive some Fairtrade goodies. Answers to the quiz can be found on the Fairtrade website www.fairtrade.org.uk Fairtrade products are widely available in supermarkets, department stores (such as Mark & Spencer, Boots, John Lewis) and specialist shops such as Oxfam shops or the Aberdeen Fairtrade shop, opposite John Lewis in George Street. There are over 4,500 different products available such as coffee, tea, fruit juice, hot chocolate, chocolate bars, fruit, cereal bars, ice cream, dried fruit and nuts, sweets, cakes and brownies, biscuits, jams and spreads, flowers, sugar, rice, herbs and spices, beer, wines, beauty products, sports balls, cottons and much more. Our local ASDA and Tesco will have plenty products to choose from during Fairtrade Fortnight, so start shopping now and collecting your Fairtrade labels.
