People Tree discounts for World Fair Trade Day
May 12th is World Fair Trade Day, and Fairtrade fashion pioneers People Tree are marking the occasion by offering a very generous 70 per cent discount on some of their items. So, up until 14th May, you can bag yourself one of the label's organic cotton t-shirts for as little as £6. It's not often you find something that's eye-poppingly cheap and ethical, so this sounds like a very good deal to me.

World Fair Trade day is a great reminder of why we all need to get into the habit of buying products made under fair conditions, and to drive home the fact that the Fairtrade label is not simply another fashion statement. This year, the focus is on kids, since a lot of the world's most vulnerable workers in third world countries are children.
