GREAT BIG GREEN WEEK 2022 IN TATSFIELD
|
On Saturday 1 October the Fairtrade Group joined forces with the Tatsfield Horti Society at an event during the national Great Big Green Week. The aim was to highlight some of the ways we can all make choices in our everyday lives to take care of the environment - locally and globally.
Fairtrade Tea, Coffee and Hot Chocolate was available to enjoy while we chatted about the positive impact that Fairtrade products have on the environment due to the high ethical standards to which producers are held accountable. |
|
Towards the end of the morning, we joined forces with Kim Jennings, the Chair of the Parish Council, to 'Sow our Solidarity' with farmers who are already facing the worst of the climate crisis by sowing some Fairtrade wildflower seeds around the new Wild Cherry tree. We will also be planting more wildflower seeds near the beehives over at the allotments to help to feed the pollinators and support our all important ecosystem.

Many villagers signed our Community Declaration letter which we then sent to our MP, Claire Coutinho asker her to support measures to protect the East Surrey environment as well as those that maintain, support and promote high ethical standards around the world.
The trade deals we make with other countries can have a very significant impact on the lives of producers around the world as well as on the competitive pressure felt by farmers and producers in the UK.
