More details from petition creator
Following a report shown on BBC2's Newsnight programme dated July 5th 2007, this petition has been set up. One of the shocking things about the sale of fair trade chocolate is that most sellers of confectionary do not stock any fair trade lines, restricting the accessibility of Fair Trade chocolate to the consumer. Given the choice a lot more people would buy FT instead of chocolate that trades from slavery. It could be a small step which would make a big change.
