SubscribeFairtrade vs. Food Miles
Following the excellent discussion about Fairtrade last week I had a big think about the relationship between helping the environment by buying food that is grown closer to home or supporting farmers in other countries.
I found the following excellent article on the BBC website:

Do we stop buying bananas to save the environment or do we support the fairtrade farmers and buy bananas?
