Tytsjerksteradiel remains Fairtrade Municipality: will you help?
Municipality of Tytsjerksteradiel may call itself Fairtrade Municipality for another two years. This means that the municipality, together with residents, businesses, stores and civil society organizations, continues to opt for fair trade. By doing so, the municipality contributes to better living and working conditions for farmers and workers in developing countries. And the municipality also chooses products from the region.
A title to be proud of
The Municipality of Tytsjerksteradiel has been a Fairtrade Municipality since 2010, with the aim of contributing to a better world and actively involving residents in this effort. To become a Fairtrade Municipality, a municipality must meet several conditions. These include using Fairtrade products in the municipal offices, stores selling Fairtrade, and restaurants serving Fairtrade coffee or tea. There must also be an active core team that organizes activities and promotes Fairtrade. "Thanks in part to the efforts of the volunteers, our title has now been renewed again, a great result!" says Alderman Berber van Zandbergen. "It is a title to be proud of!"
Call: join the core team
To keep Fairtrade alive in Tytsjerksteradiel, we need your help. Currently we are still working with the core team of Achtkarspelen. It is also time for the core team to continue independently, because it is precisely with local involvement that we can make a difference. Are you interested in fair trade and do you want to get involved in a more sustainable world? Then sign up for the core team! You can think about actions, organize events or just lend a hand now and then.
