Next Fairtrade
Eastbourne Meeting!
We meet every THIRD Tuesday of the month and the next meeting will be...
Tuesday
15th July at 7:30pm, upstairs in Bibendum, Grange Road
The next Fairtrade Eastbourne
meeting will include a DVD
from the Fairtrade
Foundation
on cotton farming in Cameroon and
a short presentation
on whether Fairtrade clothing only means ethical standards for the
farmers, or does it apply at every step in the manufacturing
process? Could Fairtrade T-shirts be using sweatshop labour? All
welcome to come along and join in the discussion!
Please come along if you'd like to know more about the Fairtrade campaign
in Eastbourne and discuss ideas for what we do next.

 We
are
currently distributing 'Ask for Fairtrade' cards around the town centre
to all Eastbourne shoppers. By handing the card to any retail outlet
that
does not already supply Fairtrade certified products you are also
showing concern for the 3rd world producers. If you would like
cards to
hand out to outlets which fail to provide fairtrade goods do not
hesisitate to contact us or collect from the Fairtrading Post shop
situated in
the Enterprise Centre.
Get in
touch! We need
your help and ideas. If you are interested in the Fairtrade
Eastbourne campaign get in contact and come along to our
events and meetings. Sign up to the Fairtrade Eastbourne
mailing list below.
