Fairtrade fortnight 2012 runs from the 27th February to the 11th March where the theme is to take a step for Fairtrade. Steps can be as simple as trying a new faritrade product, or as big and bold as launching a campaign to get your whole town to go Fairtrade. Every step counts, as they lead to life changing projects in developing countries.

The campaign is aiming to acheive 1.5 million steps by the end of 2012, one step for every farmer and worker in the Fairtrade system. Get involved and register whatever step you can take online at http://www.fairtrade.org.uk/step
