Support Fairwind’s campaign for Fair Trade Xmas trees
Please support our campaign to make real Christmas Trees fair trade
Christmas may seem a long way off, but here at Fairwind we have been campaigning all year to persuade growers and retailers in the UK to start selling fair trade Christmas trees this Christmas.
We are making good progress but we need your help!
Every year many people in Georgia are injured or killed picking the cones needed to extract the seeds to grow the UK’s most popular real Christmas tree, the Nordmann Fir.
Fairwind is working with the ONLY supplier of fair trade seeds and trees to bring “Fair Trees®” to the UK.
And here is where you can help:
1. Join our Facebook campaign
CLICK THE FACEBOOK BUTTON!
2. Email/write to your local garden centre, Christmas tree farm or Homebase or B&Q
Homebase and B&Q are the largest retailers of real Christmas trees and here are their email addresses:
socialresponsibility@b-and-q.co.uk
3. Forward this email on to your friends, colleagues and family and get them supporting the campaign
We already have celebrity support from Katie Melua
Now we need your support!
And with a bit of luck you will be seeing this label on your Christmas tree this year!
Thank you
