OUR EASTER CHOCOLATE CAMPAIGN

The chocolate industry has until July 2008 to deliver on its promises to stop using exploitative child labour on cocoa farms in the Ivory Coast.

In the next few weeks our action will show the chocolate industry that we will not stop our campaigning until the trafficking of children is stopped.

STOP THE TRAFFIK GREAT EASTER EGG HUNT

This is an Easter egg hunt with a difference

The best way to know that your Easter egg is traffik free is by buying fair trade chocolate eggs. Hunt out fair-trade Easter eggs in your town. In a traditional egg hunt the eggs are hard to find. Sadly it may be the same with fair-trade eggs. This may be frustrating but we must tell this story so people realize what is going on.

Go to every shop & supermarket where you live to hunt out a fair-trade egg. Take a photo of yourself outside the shops where you find a fairly traded Easter Egg. Print off and give the shop manager one of the STOP THE TRAFFIK coupons.

And then make your find the talk of the town …

1Upload a photo, put your first name, where you are from & one line saying what it was like onto the www.stopthetraffik.org/easterHunt.

2Fill in this letter and give it to the manager of every shop you visited that didn’t sell a fairly traded Easter Egg.

3To make this story the talk of the town sends your story and photos of your Easter Egg Hunt to your local newspaper/local radio/school newsletter or other community newsletters.

You can tell everyone what you found even when Easter has passed.

Take cover by saving urban trees Print E-mail

by Vassili Papastavrou at bbc.co.uk, 4 March 2008

 Let's stop chopping of our urban trees and embark on a scheme to plant lots of fast-growing trees that soon leave us in the shade, argues Vassili Papastavrou. In this week's Green Room he tells us to take cover, because we need city canopies more than ever before.

While cycling to and from my home in Bristol, I have become aware of the large number of trees that are disappearing from surrounding streets.

A quick glance on Google Earth shows gaps like missing teeth along the once tree-lined avenues. It appears that a reason can be found to remove any urban tree.

Other neighbours shared my concern for the disappearing trees, so we looked in vain for an organisation that might help us; but there was none.

So, together we set up a local group called Bristol Street Trees. We also found out first-hand how nearly impossible it was to plant street trees in new locations, despite a huge willingness amongst the public to contribute money.
