So, I found this site because I was searching through the net for info about fair trade. I've heard all about this fair trade fortnight, I think it ended yesterday...
The idea is that the people growing the food get more money for it right? But what I don't understand is why do you have to buy fair trade food for that to happen? How come the government doesn't do something that means a certain percentage of money has to go back to the farmer on everything that you buy?!
Is fair trade mainly for food? I saw this thing on the news (might have been newsround) about their being special labels on fair trade clothes in TopShop. But I've never seen them!
