Hi all, I have been reading into the trade industry recently and I am truly appaled.
On average coffee collectors get paid $1 per day (sometimes less, $1 = about 50p) whilst in that same day nestle and other top brands make up to £500 of that 1 man/womans work. If the companies paid them $3 per day (£1.50) they would live a much much much better life.
I think it would be good for all members to send this short email to netle (already typed for you you just click send basically) from the following URL

also have a look around the site and if you have the time email the other companys listed and also George Bush !!
I am now trying my best to purchase fair trade foods.
Easter is coming up and fair trade easter eggs are available so why not buy them for your kids/grandchildren/cousin etc and know that you have helped somebody else's life be far better !
This is a very serious problem as many of the farmers do not have clothes, food or even shelter all because of the greed and selfishness of company's such as nestle.
MAKE TRADE FAIR !!
