The Fairtrade Foundation – Fairtrade

  • Our vision is of a world in which justice and sustainable development are at the heart of trade structures and practices so that everyone, through their work, can maintain a decent and dignified livelihood and develop their full potential.
    To achieve this vision, Fairtrade seeks to transform trading structures and practices in favour of the poor and disadvantaged. By facilitating trading partnerships based on equity and transparency, Fairtrade contributes to sustainable development for marginalised producers, workers and their communities. Through demonstration of alternatives to conventional trade and other forms of advocacy, the Fairtrade movement empowers citizens to campaign for an international trade system based on justice and fairness.

West Australian Forest Alliance WAFA

(There exist an old website and a new website, here I have mixed both🙂

WAFA works to protect the remaining forests and woodlands of south-west Western Australia. Many people wrongly believe that the logging of native forests is not still happening in WA. The WA Forest Alliance was formed in 1990 to provide an umbrella body for the many community environment organisations in Perth and throughout the South West that are concerned with forest conservation. Currently WAFA has 25 member organisations, most of them from the South West. (Homepage).
