It’s April and it's likely you’ll be doing your Easter Egg shopping soon. What are you going to buy? Lots of little eggs, or a couple of really big ones? Cadbury’s, Red Tulip, light chocolate or dark chocolate, an egg, or a rabbit or a bilby?
You may well choose not to buy an Easter egg at all, but most of us seem to fall into this annual indiscretion. Here's an idea to ease your conscience (although I hope it's more than that): Look out for Fair Trade chocolate. Reaching out with the love of Jesus means many things, but one of those things is to treat people fairly and with justice.
By buying Fair Trade chocolate this Easter you can play a part in ensuring better prices, decent working conditions, local sustainability, and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers in the developing world.
By requiring companies to pay sustainable prices, Fairtrade addresses injustices against the poorest, weakest producers. It enables them to improve their position and have more control over their lives.
This Easter, play your part in achieving a fairer, more just society. There’s information available about where to buy Fair Trade chocolate this Easter at www.fairtrade.com.au
