The Ethical Superstore is supporting Fairtrade Fortnight by offering free delivery on all orders that include their exclusive Fairtrade Fortnight Kit. The kit contains £20s worth of Fairtrade products for just £13.50 including tea, coffee, chocolate, snack bars, cotton wool, a copy of New Consumer magazine and more. To claim free delivery when you place your order, enter the coupon code FSFF14X when you reach the payment process. And remember, this offer is only valid until the end of Fairtrade Fortnight.
Caring about the planet doesn’t have to be about making life harder. It can be easy. Take this clever little gadget from The Carbon Neutral Company for instance; the Intelliplug looks like a standard 3-way adaptor, but behaves very differently indeed. You plug your PC into the “master” socket on the plug, and two peripherals (monitors, printers, speakers, etc) into the “slave” sockets. When you turn off your computer, the plug will automatically power down the peripherals. Easy peasy, and electricity saved for £16.99.
And how about making Mother’s Day green and easy this year? The Carbon Neutral Company have put together a Mother’s Day Green Box containing Green & Blacks mini-chocolates, a heart-shaped key fob made from recycled leather, and a month’s worth of carbon neutral driving. £12.50 well spent.
Fairtrade Fortnight 2007 starts today, 26 February, and continues until 11th March 2007. The theme of this year’s campaign is Change today, choose Fairtrade. A number of events are being held during the two weeks all over the UK, have a look at the listings here. And you can enter a competition to have your Fairtrade recipe included in the definitive Fairtrade Everyday Cookbook, published by Dorling Kindersley.
I also noticed when doing some shopping at Waitrose this morning that they are discounting Fairtrade products during Fairtrade Fortnight, so it’s a good time to sample some of those products that you’ve always wanted to try.
