What is fairly traded fashion? 2008-04-03
You can tell if a product is fair trade by looking out for the fair trade mark, which guarantees that the product has been made in line with fair trade standards guaranteed by the Fairtrade Foundation.
This means that the Fairtrade Foundation is happy that the workers are being paid a fair wage for their labour and that they have decent working conditions and local sustainability.
Young Cooperatives 2008-04-01
Members
of young co-operatives gain practical business experience, learn to
work as part of a democratic team and, by selling fairly traded
products, make a direct difference to some of the world's poorest
producers and their families. At Beacon we have run a young
Cooperative –Youth Traid- since January 2006.
