Make Fair Trade a priority at the G8

Show us your green bits Gordon 3.jpg
People Tree supporters in Parliament to remind Gordon Brown to keep to the ‘green revolution’ that he promised to take to the G8

What’s the talk surrounding this year’s G8 Summit in Toyako, Japan? It’s been all about the global economy, all about global food shortages, all about climate change…

But, wait – why is the all encompassing approach to international trade not even mentioned in any of the publicity yet??? Why isn’t Fair Trade a priority on the agenda when it brings the concerns already on the table under its umbrella-approach to global business?

Fair Trade isn’t just about paying a fair price – it’s about the environment, it’s about helping communities in the developing world become sustainable, it’s about bettering the global economy, it’s about reducing CO2 emissions. Make it a priority.
