Reduce your Food Footprint!

REDUCE YOUR FOOD FOOTPRINT! – GO FAIRTRADE AT www.ethicallyessential.coop

Fairtrade Fortnight: February 22 to March 7, 2010
 
Swapping a few essential food items to fairtrade purchases can dramatically reduce your ‘food footprint’ and give much-needed support to hundreds of thousands of people in some of the world’s poorest communities.
 
For example, if you buy fairly traded herbal tea, ground coffee, tinned tomatoes, baked beans and pineapple chunks from www.ethicallyessential.coop, you would help over 200,000 families in projects that create clean water in Mexico, help farmers rebuild in the Tsunami regions, support co-operative farmers in Italy and fund a kindergarten and school in Egypt.
 
“Fairtrade food is cultivated by farmers and producers whose efforts are rewarded by fair pay,” explains Eli Sarre, sales and marketing manager for Essential.  “This is then invested in the food production and into their community thus bringing about positive changes to the workers and their families.”
