This month saw Fairtrade Fortnight.

Do you think fair trade is important?

"Fair trade is a critical issue to ensure fairness and equality and isimperative in making suppliers and producers equal. Young people havebeen at the heart of the campaign and instrumental in bringing it ontothe agenda." Rajay, 17, Coventry

"I think fair trade is a great thing as it is an easy way for everyoneto do something to help end poverty, but most people do not know enoughabout it and therefore don't buy fair trade goods." Hamish,15,Cornwall

"I think fair trade is a great idea. It ensures a decent price andsustainable livelihood for some of the world's poorest people. Of courseI realise that not everyone can afford fairly traded products, but Ithink that those who can afford it should really consider whether theywant to go on supporting despicable wages, awful working conditions, andmaintenance of the poverty trap." Hannah, 16, Bromley
