Title: Fair trade chocolate rules!
Post by: Claire296 on March 26, 2009, 01:11:56 pm: Hey everyone!

My name is Claire and I’m working with Divine Chocolate at the moment and we’ve got something planned for the lead up to the G20 summit we thought you might like.

We’re getting people to ‘Egg a politician to keep fair trade on the agenda’! Trade has been slipping further and further from the list of priorities and all the momentum created by the fair trade movement risks being lost.

So we hope you’ll have a go at our game http//www.eggapolitician.com and send a message to the world leaders to push for fairer trade.

Divine Chocolate is the leading Fairtrade company co-owned by cocoa farmers. It’s a Fairtrade pioneer that’s shown that paying a fair price for its cocoa and sharing profits with the cocoa farmers is a business model that works on a major scale – no excuse for big companies not to do the same.

Divine Chocolate’s all about empowering cocoa farmers to have a stronger voice in the world market and empowering consumers to make choices that can make change happen.

Divine Chocolate’s always been about championing fairer trade and enjoying it at the same time. ‘Egg a politician’ game lets you do just that!

Thanks for reading, and don't forget to go on the website!

I am also attending the Put People First march in London on Saturday to address delegates at the G20 summit. I'll definitely visit your website and send a message. Thanks for raising this with us.
