    i think they sell bags of it in the coffee area up in the main canteen, but is there anywhere on campus where they use fairtrade coffee in the actual cafe/shop? its nice to have a choice. :)

    it's kind of rare to get it in places, but i know someone who goes to the same place a bit at home and managed to get them to stock it by constantly asking do the have it. now its really popular

    thanks. yeah i know places that sell it, but what i was looking for is a place on campus that serves it. i was down in ciarans yesterday and while its not fair trade brand coffee, its ethnically grown. :)

    They sell it all over the Mary I campus — staffroom, SU shop, even in Godless Campbell's catering! ;)

    Get your SU to ring our SU; they should be able to work something out...

    they do! i just noticed recently. and its the same price as regular tea and coffee, so everyone should get that instead!

    note: im not trying to order people around, tis just a suggestion :)

    If fairtrade kicks off it will raise prices/lower standard of living.
