The Young Greens have been busy promoting Fairtrade during Fairtrade Fortnight 2010!

This year the QUB Greens decided to highlight the Green aspects of Fairtrade! -

Fairtrade is about better prices, decent working conditions, local sustainability, and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers in the developing world. By requiring companies to pay sustainable prices (which must never fall lower than the market price), Fairtrade addresses the injustices of conventional trade, which traditionally discriminates against the poorest, weakest producers. It enables them to improve their position and have more control over their lives.
