Fairtrade Man: day one

February 26, 2007

It's day one. I'm two meals in and my plan to eat only Fairtrade products for the duration of Fairtrade Fortnight has started well.

Breakfast was helped by the discovery of Fairtrade waffles by Doves Farm and a lunch of quinoa with pineapple, brazil nuts and ginger was equally satisfying. Today my action is to email Angela Merkel about EU trade agreements. Please join me in doing so either via Tearfund or Myspace.
