Re: Fairtrade Fortnight
i love nescafe and if them paying peanuts to farmers keeps the price down then so be it
yes what nescafe do is wrong and i have seen a program not too long ago showing how it effects the farmers etc but the onus on doing somthing about it is not my resposability it is the powers that be that should be sorting out these issues
if i remember correctly nescafe are on the board of free trade ( or whatever its called ) so it is a mokery from the outstart a bit like putting sadam insane or libiya in charge of human rights at the UN
i do think that nesacfe should be cheaper considering how little they pay for the beans and that nescafe should pay the farmers more and make less proffit
i think free trade items is a start but realy the root of teh problem is our own government and other governments who allow the problem to exist in the first place and the only thing we can do to help it seems is to bouycot companies like nescafe or pay even more money for fair trade items which i can not afford to do
ive only seen a few tv shows about this problem and all of them seem to point to the government when it comes to whos fault it is that these farmers get ripped off in the first place
