As part of "fairtrade fortnight" 2010, volunteers from Shropshire Master Composters attended a huge food fair in central Shrewsbury to promote home composting. There were more than 12 stalls mainly selling ethically sourced food, drink and clothing from developing countries. There was also fantastic Caribbean music provided from the Telford West Indian Associations Youth Steel Band. The town crier opened up the event and rounded up hundreds of people to attend. They all learned about the difference you can make in peoples lives by choosing to pay a fair price for produce from developing countries and of course whilst they were at it we showed them why they should compost too!
