Fairtrade vs Airmiles Harriet Lamb 10 May 08
Ethical Expo 2008, Bristol
Ethical Expo2008
Festival of Ideas links with Ethical Expo 2008 to look at issues of fair trade and ethics.
Harriet Lamb is director of the Fairtrade Foundation and author of Fighting the Banana WarsandOther Fairtrade Battles. She looks at the dilemma of promoting fair trade at the same time as greater use of aircraft to bring food to the UK. Is fair trade food a form of offsetting? Are we buying our way ethically to further climate disaster or is ethical trading and sustainability compatible?
