To mark the two week celebration of Fairtrade activity, Ecotopia.co.uk has extended its catalogue of products bearing the Fairtrade certification.
All sports equipment stocked by Ecotopia is now fair-trade certified, guaranteeing a better deal for manufacturers in developing countries. The Fairtrade football is one of the environmental store’s best children’s toys and fittingly, supports the campaign against child soldiers. With every football purchased, a donation is also made to the campaign.
Miles Owen, managing director of Ecotopia.co.uk said, “We all now have the chance to play an even bigger part in helping bring about much more significant change for communities in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Supporting Fairtrade through Ecotopia.co.uk helps people do so much more in their lives and transform communities for the better.”
Rugby fans can also get in to the spirit of Fairtrade fortnight at Ecotopa.co.uk with full size pro and miniature rugby balls bearing the distinctive black decal. The fair deal rugby ball is hand sewn in rubber with outside grain.
In addition to sports equipment, savvy online shoppers can introduce a taste of eco chic into their home with delicious Fairtrade coffee from a selection by Cafedirect. Packing an aromatic punch to the palate, the organic 5065 brew is bold and boisterous with a full body and sustained balance of flavours. Coffee beans of the highest quality are grown in the rich soils of Latin America, Africa and the Caribbean, at altitudes of up to 6000ft (1830m). They are then medium roasted and blended by experts, all of whom benefit from the sustainable resources and fair deal trading introduced by Fairtrade Foundation.
For those who like their pleasures coco coated, the first ever product to be awarded the Fairtrade mark is Green and Blacks Maya Gold chocolate. With a refreshing twist of orange, the rich dark chocolate is available from Ecotopia.co.uk in both 100g and 35g bars.
