World Fairtrade Day on 9th May
Sun 3rd May 2009 @ 10:16:pm

I would just like to say a big thank you to everyone who helped out during Environment Week. I hope you would all agree it was an environmental extravaganza with free Smoothies on Monday, lots of interesting stalls throughout the week including the World Naked Bike Riders, the ever successful famers market on Thursday and free fairtrade chocolates, cookies and games all week from the Environment and Ethics Stall!

 

As the academic year draws to an end things start to slow down I release how much I'm going to miss my role as Environment and Ethics Officer and organising events!

 

However, it’s not over just yet and one occasion just around the corner is World Fairtrade Day on Saturday 9th May. A great excuse to kick start or give a boost to your fairtrade habit. Why not join many fairtrade supports around the world including France, Norway, Poland and here in the UK by have a fairtrade breakfast.

If you want to get more involved with organising Environmental and Ethics events for next year and think you can make the Union even greener then why not stand for one of two positions open on the Environment and Ethics Committee: Environment Co-ordinator and Ethics Co-ordinator. Come along to Union Council on 18th May to stand for the positions or email me for more info at eande@susu.org
