In Sweden, where I'm from, Fairtrade is arranging something awesome.
On wedensday, the 27th of october, anyone who wants can join in having a coffee break with Fairtrade products. So far 306.842 people have reported that they're going to join in! To join you simply invite your friends to your house for a coffee / bring sweets to work and have a coffee break with your colleagues or whatever. You use one or more Fairtrade labeled products. You let fairtrade know you are having the coffee and afterwards you report your result. It's so simple and a great way to spread knowledge about the difference you can make when you choose the right products.
The person who invites the most people, the supermarket who invited the most other stores to join, the one who uses more fairtrade products and the one who gets the best pictures of the event, will win some really nice prices. You might for example get to visit one of the producing countries working with fairtrade!
I think this is a fantastic idea, and I'm jealous of all the swedes who get to be part of it! So don't you miss this!
By the way, maybe it isn't impossible for me to join. I just gotta find some fairtrade labeled stuff. All you greeks, are you interested in something like this?! If I invite you, will you come to my fairtrade coffee? (I know you're reading, so just post a "yes" or "no" in the comments field. Be anonymous if you like.)
I will bring the coffee.
