Sir – I’ve been delighted to see our schools are teaching our children about Fairtrade.
Fairtrade is a superb and easy way British shoppers can support those from poorer countries in an honest and legitimate way.
There are so many examples of bad, neglectful and downright evil behaviour from some of our big corporations, that it’s reassuring to know there is a way we can show our disapproval.
I’m all for capitalism – but responsible capitalism. Paying a fair price for a product or service should be a standard, not a luxury.
So support Fairtrade. Ethical purchasing is the only way the big companies will listen.
Mrs M Hodge, Skipton
