Egg a politician (virtually!) for Fairtrade

Fairtrade is great - by requiring companies to pay sustainable prices (which must never fall lower than the market price), it addresses the injustices of conventional trade, which traditionally discriminates against the poorest, weakest producers. It enables them to improve their position and have more control over their lives.

At the G20 meeting in London next week fairtrade issues are likely to be sidelined, which is why Divine Chocolate have set up their 'Egg a Politician Game'. You throw a yummy chocolate easter egg at a your choice of world leader - get your aim right and they'll gobble it up. You can then register your support for fairtrade by sending an email to the politician, asking them to raise the issue at the G20. Politics has never been so entertaining!
