FASHION - Why are we wearing fashionable clothes? by Athina

Why don't you care about those children?!

Fair-trade products

 Dear friends, 

You might have heard it before but I'm sure you didn't think about it seriously. I'm talking about Fair-trade products. 

With these products you can be sure that the people that made them were paid for that job and that there are no children sweating to produce them. Those children have lost their best years because you want cheaper things! They've lost their childhood! Is that fair? 

Think about it and don't let it go. It's something important and each of you can make a difference...

Yours thankfully,

Kostas T.

 'Choose Fair Trade, Improve the Lives of Farmers'

When we buy our products we don't usually care about where they are produced or by whom. We look at the price and if we like it we buy it.

   It is important to be sure that we know all the things about the company that produce a product. Most of the times we don't know where the materials of the products are produced.

If you don't want to have questions about the materials that the companies import or about the quality of the products , you should buy fair trade products. By doing this you are sure where the products are produced . You will know that the farmers  work in safe and healthy working conditions and they are paid fairly for their work.

The farmers work in better conditions and the products have better quality. Farmers by taking a monthly salary, they live better, they eat healthier food.

 Finally when you buy a fair trade product you have a better quality and you  improve the lives of those people. You say a " thank you "  to them that they work for your food.

What if happiness didn't exist ?

   What would happen if there wasn't happiness in the world ?A million things wouldn't exist , too.

If we were never happy, we would never laugh.  Laughter expresses enjoyment, and if happiness did't exist, there wouldn't be reason for laughter to exist. Most importantly for me, life wouldn't have a point because all people would be disappointed and they wouldn't enjoy life. There would be unhappiness and no joy in the world. We would have many problem without solutions. Life would be boring and torturous for all of us. Psychiatric drugs would be more expensive due to increased psychological problems. People would cry as well and the world would be full of tears.( OK, that wouldn't really happen ). Love wouldn't exist because it's something that brings happy feelings to people. Also, there wouldn't be comedies.

   I think most of us know what makes us happy, so let's be thankful that the word "happy" and its meaning exist.

                                                                                                                                                                   DEA HOXHALLI      

Buying Fair trade Products is good for you!

Buying Fair trade Products 

It is really important to buy Fair trade products for many reasons:

1. You know that the product which you are using, eating or even playing with is made by people who get paid for making it and not by children or adults working as slaves without getting paid.
2. You make sure of the quality of the product that you use.

 On the other hand, by buying a product which is not Fair trade you risk lifes. You should know that this kind of products are not necessarily made by employees who get paid. For example,  most of the cocoa which is produced per day is not Fair Trade. By saying "risk lifes" I mean that people who work illegally to make the goods that you use and buy everyday, get tortured. In some cases people have died that way.

In my opinion we should buy ONLY Fair trade Products. The problem is that in Greece there are only a few stores which sell those products.

FAIRTRADE PRODUCTS (By Vasilia Sp. D class)

 Buying Fairtrade products is very important, especially for some people.

The products that show this sign   on the package are made by people who are regularly paid and work normal hours.
This sign   "protects" those people who work the land and it guarantees their equality and their freedom.

If you buy Fairtrade products, you help poor people in Africa, in Asia, in South America e.t.c. Also Fairtrade products are friendly to the Environment and they stop child labour, because plenty of people exploit poor children and force them to work hard for long time.

Fairtrade products respect human life and help the communities build schools and hospitals too.

With those products you help a million slaves win their freedom!!!

Fair trade is more important than you think!

We all know that Fair Trade products are very important! But how many of us know why?

Fair Trade products  impact positively the lives of over one million fair trade farmers and their families in more than fifty five countries. Tough number don't you think? Fair Trade items help to lift up these people while respecting everyone's rights. It might be more expensive, but our support can make it cheaper and more wanted than items made by slaves at Africa's farms.

With everyone's effort we can make it. Thank you for supporting Fair Trade!

D Class Cultures!

These are some of the messages I got from D class students who wanted to give us some information about cultures they are interested in.

These messages were sent through the school online workbook platform. That's great! We are really happy to see that you searched for information about other cultures after seeing what teenagers are put through so that they are considered adults in other parts of the world. Keep learning! :)
