The new fair trade? Transforming Africa "One" egg at a time

Do you ever feel a bit guilty when going to your local supermarket stuffing your trolly full of goodies only to be reminded of people in the developing world living on peanuts (not literally, well not most of the time anyway)?

No? Yes? Maybe?

Well now a UK organisation called Global Ethics is making it easy for you to be a good person even when buying your favourite treats.

They are called Global Ethics and they have just launched a bunch of products for their "One" series.

The idea is simple: Every one product funds a like-for-like equivalent, for example, their One Supersofty toilet tissue funds hygiene and sanitation projects in Africa. Their free-range eggs buys chickens and their water bottles help build water pumps.

So you don’t even need to change your habits, just the products in your shopping basket. Perfect!
