Harriet Lamb: Fairtrade vs Airmiles May 10, 2008

Part of Ethical Expo 2008, Castle Park, Bristol

This event is free, but must be booked. Enquire about reserving a place.

Harriet Lamb is director of the Fairtrade Foundation and author of Fighting the Banana Wars and Other 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?

This is event is followed by Living the Good Life with Harriet Lamb and Andrew Simms.
