Fairtrade events for Carmarthenshire

Organisations and community groups have organised a series of events to celebrate Fairtrade Fortnight, all of which are being supported by Carmarthenshire County Council.
They include a ‘Fairtrade Summer's Day in Ammanford!’ on Friday, March 5, which will see a solar-powered cinema showing short films about Fairtrade, and a Fairtrade producer visit to Pembrey Primary School, on Monday, March 1.
Cllr Pam Palmer, executive board member for sustainable development, said: “Carmarthenshire is a Fairtrade council and already supplies Fairtrade tea and coffee in offices and canteens.


“Fairtrade Fortnight encourages fair terms of trade for farmers and workers in the developing world, by requiring companies to pay sustainable prices for produce. It also aims to promote decent working conditions and local sustainability in places where the poorest and smallest producers are traditionally discriminated against.
“There is a wide range of events lined up across the county and I would encourage people to try and get to them to find out more about the big benefits of Fairtrade.”

FAIRTRADE WALKS WALES

Inspired by the Fairtrade Way (a long distance walk initially going from Garstang to Keswick linking Fairtrade Towns in The Lake District, but now continuing north and south - See www.garstangfairtrade.org.uk for more details), some of us in Wales are both hoping to continue the Way into Wales, and also to hold an on-going series of Fairtrade Walks, linking Fairtrade Towns or venues.
The first definate one is on Sunday 7th March from the Oxfam Bookshop in Swansea (meet at 11, to leave at 11.30) to the Red Cafe in The Mumbles.
Others definately happening but without confirmed dates yet will go between Ammanford and Swansea and Ammanford and Carmarthen (not sure in which direction yet either).
This message is really just designed to be forwarded around Wales' Fairtrade supporters to see the level of interest and to get things moving and to offer help and support to anyone interested and also so we can put people in touch with each other to walk together.
Please send the link to this message on to anyone who you think might be interested. http://ammanfordfairtrade.blogspot.com/2010/01/fairtrade-walks-wales.html

Fairtrade Walks might also include already planned Walking Group rambles where everyone agrees to fill their flasks with fairtrade drinks, or a stroll from the local Co-Op to a Fairtrade cafe around the corner... or a walk up Snowdon for some Fairtrade juice at the summit cafe! - The possibilities are endless!
- Just walk, have fun and spread the message of Fairtrade!

Anyone interested : Just go for it! ...Or if you want to chat about ideas / More details, contact :
