GREEN SCREENING - BUYER BE FAIR

Tuesday 5th May from 6.30pm

"BUYER BE FAIR: The Promise of Produce Certification" takes viewers to Mexico, the Netherlands, the UK, Sweden, the USA and Canada to explore how conscious consumers and businesses can use the market to promote social justice and environmental sustainability through product labeling, with a focus on Fair Trade coffee and Forest Stewardship Council certified wood.

This film demonstrates how retailers and consumers can use their purchasing power and market choice to make the world better for people and the environment.
