Hello,
Our school is involved in fair-trade, our class have been focussing on cotton. These are some of the things that we know : cotton is the world’s oldest and well known material in the world; there are cotton farmers in several countries like India and China, fair trade cotton is made by the farmers that are often left invisible and not in the spotlight.

Hello everyone, my class are talking about Fair Trade and we have decided to make a blog about it.
Thank You for reading my blog. If there is anything we left out please write it in a comment.
Stephen and Cameron 🙂
For the next two weeks it is Fairtrade Fortnight and I am going to write about cotton.
26.4% of Benin’s exports is cotton and 58.7% of Burkina Faso’s is cotton as well. 100 Million households are engaged in cotton growing. Estimated about 300 million people work for cotton households. Cotton is the oldest commercial crop. Cotton is vital for the survival of many people in Africa and the Central and Western Asia. The farmers are nervous about the climate change affecting the crops and poor prices for seed cotton.
Thank you for reading my blog and please leave a reply.

In class we are learning about Fair-trade cotton
In my school it is Fair Trade Fortnight and our class is learning about Fair Trade cotton. So far we have read a little bit about cotton and we know that cotton is one of the oldest and well known crops. Farmers usually get paid round about 50p for doing this work and then the company that gets the product keeps the rest. We really want to help these people and give them a fair life.
Thanks for reading!
