Fair Trade

http://www.fairtrade.org.uk/index.htm

Whilst on my trip to London I saw this exibition by Trevor Lighton.
I really like it caught my attention not really sure why.... it could have been because of its quirky maner or the fact you can have fun in trying to spot the fruit and reading what these people do with their fair trade food....


I think its also interesting because of having to feed my self. For the first time im more aware of of what I'm buying... whilst having an limited budget and some one who enjoys own brands I started buying british food where posible especially in the fruit and veg mainly because it is in season it is cheaper to buy and the idea that the distace your food has travelled- say, a pink ladey can travel from South Africa you can imagine the distance it's travelled and the amount of pollution. Ironically the healthy option may have damaged the environment. (though it's not always possible I do try)
