A COMPREHENSIVE guide to all things Fairtrade in Warrington has been produced.
The Warrington Fairtrade directory lists all known retailers, cafes and restaurants in the borough stocking two or more products with the independent certification FAIRTRADE Mark.
It also lists schools, businesses, churches, and community groups in the town which use Fairtrade products.
The guide comes in the wake of the successful banana eating event at Golden Square at the weekend, when hundreds of people scoffed bananas to try and set a n
ew national record for the number of bananas eaten on a single day.
The FAIRTRADE Mark is an independent certification mark which appears on thousands of products such as coffee, coca, sugar, tea, bananas, honey, cotton, wine, fresh fruit, chocolates and flowers.
It is a guarantee that disadvantaged farmers and workers in the developing world receive a fair and stable price for their products so they can support their families and invest in a better future.
The guide can be picked up from local libraries, the Town Hall, the “Fair 4 All” stall in Warrington Market and various other outlets around the town.
The Warrington Fairtrade directory will also soon be available to download from www.warrington.gov.uk/fairtrade.
Warrington is a Fairtrade borough and has been since March 2006.
