During Fair Trade Fortnight (2nd May - 17th May and onwards) New Zealanders are encouraged to make a fair trade action that will also benefit the environment, part of their regular routine...
Your action can be from something simple such as pledging to only drink Trade Aid organic coffee for the fortnight.. to something more wacky and complex - you decide - and then, most importantly show us how you are actioning it on the www.mybigaction.ning.com website through videos, photos or blogs!
If we really like the way you showcase your action you could also win one of the weekly prizes during Fair Trade Fortnight.
Check out the forum www.mybigaction.ning.com/forum for action ideas.
View members profiles to see some great actions planned: from only eating fair trade and organic products during fair trade fortnight, holding a fair trade bake-athon, putting on a play about the dark side of chocolate, leaving fair trade leaflets when checking out library books and more....
The reason Trade Aid are wanting to get people to make an action is because we think climate change, poverty and the financial crisis just aren't fair on the world's most disadvantaged.. so we are encouraging people here in NZ to take actions - big or small - to bring some positive change!
Look forward to seeing you on www.mybigaction.ning.com - or alternatively pop into any Trade Aid shop during Fair Trade Fortnight and fill in an action card!
