FairTrade Fortnight: Show Your Support In Ventnor

Tuesday, 26th February, 2008 at 2:15 pm, Isle of Wight

Food & Drink, Ventnor

FairTrade Fortnight In Ventnor: Give Your SupportFairTrade products do really help the rural producers in foreign parts. Without it they are living on peanuts, for growing peanuts for us.

The big conglomerates regularly screw the poor workers into extreme poverty. But, cooperatives, properly supported by the Fairtrade movement, gives them a half decent living.


FairTrade fortnight started yesterday and highlights the value of the FairTrade movement.

Cafes in Ventnor who serve FairTrade tea and coffee etc are:

Tilly’s, Tides, Troubadour, Tapas Bar El Toro and The Hub Café at St Catherine’s Church (looks like a bit of a trend going there with all the Ts – Ed)

You can also buy fairtrade coffee from The Ventnorian.

    today’s print edition of the daily telegraph is offering a free eco bag to readers.

    yesterday the daily mail’s print edition did likewise (don’t know if the offer’s ongoing).

    i didn’t see either newspaper – i’m a daily sport reader!
