Paul McCartney Backs World Fair Trade Day

Published March 11, 2009 @ 01:43PM PT

All you need is... Fair Trade? According to Paul McCar-, ahem Sir Paul McCartney, Fair Trade is what we need. Sir McCartney has just announced his support for the Big Bang and World Fair Trade that is coming up on May 9th.

World Fair Trade Day is a great idea. Fair Trade is essential for millions of people who work and struggle for survival everyday. It’s all about justice and human rights. So why don’t you join me in supporting World Fair Trade Day 09.

That's right, join Sir Paul and millions of Fair Traders across the world who have pledged their support for World Fair Trade Day. To take action and join Sir Paul, you can check out the Fair Trade Resource Network or e-mail them at wftday@gmail.com. Be part of the Fair Trade Coffee Break!
