Fairtrade reaches new heights

 

 Virgin Atlantic has recently announced that it will be serving only Fairtrade tea and coffee to passengers. The airline served nearly 7 million cups of coffee and over 5 million cups of tea on board flights in 2006 so a switch to these products will be a significant boost for farmers who supply the Fairtrade market.

Ubuntu is the first cola in the UK to be licensed with the FAIRTRADE Mark, made using Fairtrade sugar from Malawi and Zambia. For more information and to find out where it is stocked, check their website. There are now over 3,000 Fairtrade products available!! More details here.
