Finally done it. Following on from #FairtradeFortnight I've raided my @CoopCreditUnion savings and ordered a @Fairphone from @phonecoop 😀 Repairable, made to last, ethically sourced. Love it. youtu.be/6DW733G76BY

Enjoying @dantdm on @ClassicFM this evening. So much great music has been created for gaming that deserves to be enjoyed on its own too. Spot on to start with Sweden from Minecraft. This show won't get children into classical music, it will show them they already are. ♥️

Anyone looking to add a bit of #fairtrade to #veganuary should look out for reduced 25p bags of True Origin Rice from Malawi on offer at @mycoopfood , they won't be around for long at that price.

I would also add the fab @coopuk Irresistible Fairtrade Single Origin Dark 57% Orange chocolate bar on the essential #vegan and #fairtrade list

The return of #mutual ownership for my bank. Hurrah! Looking forward to becoming a member in due course. #alltogetherevenbetter

Christmas holiday success criteria accomplished: I have put out both bins, on the right days. #winningatlife

180 years ago tonight, the Rochdale Society of Equitable Pioneers opened their first shop. I raise my #fairtrade @revolverworld Malawi Peppermint tea bought from my local @mycoopfood and thank you for your brave vision of shared equity, as relevant now as ever. #cooperatives

I spy lots of @mycoopfood #fairtrade goodies as one of the prizes in tomorrow's @stivesmeths Christmas raffle.

FAIRTRADE FORTNIGHT Day 14: Fairtrade cashews, peanuts, raisins and almonds today as a slightly different snack to replace the ridiculous amount of chocolate consumed in the last fortnight! #FairtradeFortnight #BeTheChange #Fairtrade

FAIRTRADE FORTNIGHT Day 13: Making the most of another sunny day and including a bit of #fairtrade in a summer salad lunch. #FairtradeFortnight #BeTheChange

FAIRTRADE FORTNIGHT Day 12: I have really missed white chocolate since becoming #vegan but this amazing chocolate has become a favourite, strictly for special occasions (such as the end of the week🥳) #FairtradeFortnight #BeTheChange

FAIRTRADE FORTNIGHT Day 11: Another treat for the staffroom. My last Traidcraft supplies. 😢 Pioneers who dared to dream and act out justice through trade back in 1979, and eventual co-founders of the Fairtrade Foundation. What a legacy. #fairtradefortnight #bethechange

FAIRTRADE FORTNIGHT Day 10: Busy day at work today so this is a superb treat to finish the day with. My second favourite #vegan #fairtrade chocolate! #bethchange #fairtradefortnight

FAIRTRADE FORTNIGHT Day 9: Always worth remembering that #fairtrade is about paying fairly, not necessarily about paying more. There are plenty of value fairtrade items out there. This one is a big hit in this household. #FairtradeFortnight #BeTheChange

30 years ago, #fairtrade displays were the domain of dusty church hall stalls and tiny hidden away specialist shops. Now, superb retailers like @mycoopfood have picked up the mantle and @SuchyNicole 's store is a fabulous example... 🤩🤩🤩 #FairtradeFortnight #BeTheChange

FAIRTRADE FORTNIGHT Day 8: Quick break for a cuppa. Enjoying a #fairtrade Green Tea. @clipperteas were the first FAIRTRADE brand of tea bags I ever bought from a supermarket in the mid 90s. Much progress made. Much more to do. #FairtradeFortnight #BeTheChange

FAIRTRADE FORTNIGHT Day 7: A gentle reminder to the good folk at church this morning that ALL @coopuk branded items made with cocoa are made with #fairtrade cocoa (and that the brownies and krispies are delicious - gone in 2 minutes!!) #bethechange #fairtradefortnight

FAIRTRADE FORTNIGHT Day 5: Another #fairtrade first - the first fairtrade certified macademia nuts. A brilliant achievement for @Nutcellars and available from my local @mycoopfood as part of the fantastic Malawi Partnership. #bethechange #FairtradeFortnight

FAIRTRADE FORTNIGHT Day 4: A treat for the staff room at work! #fairtradefortnight #bethechange #fairtrade
