Over recent months I have been asked the same question what is fair trade? Fairtrade is a trade justice movement to promote the use of labour, environmental and social standards for the production of commodities, particularly those exported from the Third World and Second World to the First World. Fairtrade standards are often voluntarily adhered to by importing firms and are enforced by governments through a combination of commercial and employment laws. Enough about general definitions, fairtrade is about each and every one us making a choice about where our products come from and how they are made. True the traditional tight fisted approaches of acquiring goods for the lowest possible price will never go away but could you go to the superstore and buy the mass produced, flat packed, industrialised crap not knowing is children have been exploited during construction with a clear conscience? If the answer is no then fairtrade is for you. I am not the world greatest writer, anyone reading the first paragraph of this article will know I am not even a very good writer. While I was writing this article I got some inspiration and wrote a really bad poem I would like to share with you. Wholesale Garden Furniture Poem - As I walked thought the valley of the shadow of death I bought some wholesale garden furniture to stop for a breath.
