Today is World Fair Trade Day. (Thank God for all these themed days and weeks which make it soooo much easier for me to find interesting things to blog about.) So celebrate by buying something fair trade like Green and Black's chocolate which happens to be some of the most yummy chocolate there is. (Although not so ethical now it's been bought by Cadbury, but surely still better than normal Cadbury's chocolate. Ummm dilemmas of an ethical nature...I think Divine's the one you're meant to buy now.)

Or you could buy some People Tree clothes which are very cool (they've even got a concession in Topshop Oxford Street y'know) and are fair trade AND organic. Fact of a scary nature: Did you know that conventional cotton farming uses only 3% of total farmland but consumes 25% of the chemical pesticides and fertilisers used globally? Eek, until recently I thought that because cotton was natural it was 'good'.

I bought a postcard yesterday from my favourite shop in Leeds called Radish (it is, of course, a fair trade/community shop) which says: "I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once". I know it's not that original as there's a book with the title but I think it sums up my life perfectly and will make me smile next time I see it when too many days have ganged up and pounced on me.
