It was my 20th birthday the other day and we threw a fairtrade dinner party, where we drank fairtrade wine and cooked a three course meal from fairtrade ingredients, amazing!

I buy Fairtrade when ever I can - bananas/chocolate/tea/coffee and clothes. Have also started buying from Visionary soaps/Oxfam for presents etc. I would love to do more - but like for many finances are tight - but we must all try and do what we can.

Buying fairtrade cocoa!

[Christopher Caspary]

I plan on buying fairtrade products and also to tell the people about how subsidies ruin the African economy.

[Val Hartley]

I will buy more fairtrade products

[Tim Bain]

I'm going to carry on as I did last year and look round for Fairtrade goods where possible. The way I see it, the more fair trade opportunity producers have, the better they do in countries invloved and less charity they need..which is sensible and good for everyone.

[mary chez]

I plan to buy more Fairtrade goods

[Auzma Hussain]

I'm planning on buying more fairtrade products for example chocolate :)

[bob clark]

Give more consideration to Fairtrade tea coffee and chocolate rather than sticking to my usual brands

[Samuel Lewis]

[Hazel Wright]

I'm going to make a permanent switch to fairtrade chocolate. Good quality dark chocolate in small quantities knowing that I'll be doing me and the world some good.

I have already started to buy Fairtrade products wherever possible to support this worthy cause. Such a great cause and I feel many more could be joining in.

[James Mitchell]

I'm going to South Africa in April with ICS, and volunteering in rural communities and seeing farmers grow fairtrade products and how the enhancement of buying fairtrade can improve living standards and provide basic facilities for health and enconomic growth within the country, I'm also working on projects with football developing furthering the awareness of health issues and live skills, also be assisting teaching in schools and building livelihoods for a safer and brighter furture. This experience is going to be life-changing and I recommend anyone to do it! I value all support and sponsorship to go towards the programme, media participation...camera crews from premier league will be following us to broadcast how poverty can be improved by education and many more ways.

Also, last year there was another fairtrade clothing line in topman and I was not in UK so i said to my brother to go and buy me a faitrade product and since then I have a nice fairtrade scarf. Keeping making more fairtrade products I am a loyal customer :P

I will continue to buy fair trade products where possible and try to add some more products into my basket. I have told friends, family and colleagues about the importance of fairtrade and will always try to support the brand.

[Nicola]

I'm going to start purchasing Fairtrade products and have spread the word about Fairtrade to family and friends.

Just spending a few pence more on fairtrade makes such a difference. Support it wherever and whenever you can

My 10 year old daughter Charlotte had a school project where she had to research and design a poster on a worthy cause or charity, I told her a little bit about fairtrade. So she look at the fairtradeuk website and she spent all of last sunday researching them and making the poster, her teacher was so impressed with it she decided that the whole class were to do a sub- project on fairtradeuk, so in making the poster the whole class of 30 ten year olds have learnt a lot about fairtrade and hopefully they would have educated there parents a little too

[chris williams]

I have been talking about fairtrade with my family quite a bit and am consciously seeking to buy more products that are fairtrade every time I shop and am encouraging others to do the same too. I have had a big clearout of clothes and make an effort to take them too oxfam on a regualar basis.
