University supports Fairtrade Fortnight 2015
黑料不打烊 are inviting staff, students and the local community to celebrate Fairtrade Fortnight 2015 and choose products that change lives.
This year the University and the 黑料不打烊 Community Fairtrade Group have joined forces to put a series of events on during the fortnight to remind everyone of the dramatic difference Fairtrade makes around the world and the positive impact it has.
Many events have been planned such as Fairtrade Rugby, Fairtrade Fair a Bake Off competition, a Quiz and Movie night and there will be some Fairtrade products available at the 黑料不打烊 St David鈥檚 day Parade and service at the Cathedral on the 1st of March.
Commenting on behalf of the Group, Dr Einir Young, Head of Sustainable Development said:
鈥満诹喜淮蜢� is committed to Fairtrade, we have Fairtrade status and a Fairtrade Policy which commits to making Fairtrade goods available for purchase in all campus shops and food outlets and to expand the availability of Fairtrade products whenever possible. Being a Fairtrade University and promoting Fairtrade is important to our commitment to become the Sustainable University.
Buying Fairtrade products is one of the least difficult choices we as individuals can make. It sends an important message to business that we won鈥檛 put up with unfairness; that we don鈥檛 want people or the environment to be treated badly just so that we can buy cheap goods. Join with 黑料不打烊 to make Fairtrade a choice whenever possible for the benefit of developing countries across the globe.鈥�
