If you missed New Zealand’s Fair Trade fortnight (2-17th May 2009) then don’t worry, you can still do your bit by jumping on the Fair Trade (USA) Month which runs through October with the catchy slogan:

“31 Days, 31 Ways. Make a Difference.”

It’s organised by fairtrademonth.org and their two main goals (to help spread the word) is to gain 3,100 followers on Twitter and 31,000 fans on Facebook, and if you grab the widget you’ll be able to display (on your own blog) a Fair Trade fact and consumer action that you can do to help the overall cause of eduction, greater understanding and the power (and voice) we each have when we purchase a fair trade certified product.

So next time you have a spare moment, grab a coffee (Fair Trade certified of course ;)  become a Facebook fan of FairTradeCertified, follow Twitter.com: fairtradeusa, grab the widget or the banner,  join the Flickr Group: Fair Trade Month 2009 and don’t forget to check out the the resourse center for more information and ways you can help.

If you’re New Zealand based and are unsure what is a true Fair Trade product then swing by http://www.fairtrade.org.nz which is an excellent resourse and will help clear up any confusion.
