What is Fairtrade?

Fairtrade is about better prices, decent working conditions, and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers in the developing world. By requiring companies to pay sustainable prices (which must never fall lower than the market price), Fairtrade addresses the injustices of conventional trade, which traditionally discriminatesagainst the poorest, weakest producers.

What is a "TRILLION"

We are entering the age of the trillion but who apart from seasoned number crunchers knows what it is?

What is a “Trillion”?

"When you hear a politician, business leader of economist using the word trillion, they are talking about a number with 12 zeros,"

So what does a trillion look like?

"It is estimated you can get 50,000 pennies into a cubic foot - a trillion pennies would fill two St Paul's Cathedrals."

Alternatively you may want to compare a million to a trillion by placing a credit card next to Ben Nevis. Then again you can illustrate the scale of this number by comparing the fact that a million seconds equals 11.5 days, a billion seconds is 32 years and a trillion is 32,000 years.
Or, if your brain has not exploded already, there is another calculation you can make.

If you take the typical annual salary as £25,000 a year - how long would it take you to spend a trillion pounds if you spent £25,000 a day.

"The answer is 109,000 years."
