I thought I would share a few of my vlogs and photographs I've uploaded with my Fairphone2 since I received it February 2016.
My Fairphone2 - 17,418
I've used my Fairphone for the past 3 and half years and am very happy with it.
I've taken videos, photographs and use it to keep in touch with my family.
Although, expensive at 450 Euros, the Fairphone2 is the must have alternative smart phone for any ethically conscious consumer aspiring to actively support climate change and the circular economy.
For My Six Items Challenge 2016 - I recorded a blog about my Fairphone 2
I'm proud to say I am the owner of a Fair Phone 2 - No 17,418!!!
In 2013, Fairphone launched a movement for fairer electronics. By making a phone, they opened up the supply chain and created new relationships between people and their products. They are making a positive impact across the value chain in mining, design, manufacturing and life cycle, while expanding the market for products that put ethical values first. Together with their community, they are changing the way products are made.

A circular economy is an alternative to a traditional linear economy (make, use, dispose) in which we keep resources in use for as long as possible, extract the maximum value from them whilst in use, then recover and regenerate products and products and materials at the end of service life.
As well as creating new opportunities for growth, a more circular economy will:

And discussed the poster ''Where do fair trade products come from?''
Where do Fairtrade products come from?
I decided to take a shopping basket full of fair trade products for the children to touch, read and eat. Children also savored the seriously smooth Divine Milk Chocolate.
We ended the session by taking photographs of the children wearing fair trade certified cotton T-shirts, holding the fair trade banner and wearing banana costumes.love

Teaching fair trade to Year 5
It was a fabulous morning teaching fair trade and I look forward to returning soon.
It has been a natural transition from fairtrade campaigner, educator and social entrepreneur to Fairphone user and ethical consumer. I have been happy to lead by example and continue to patiently educate the public in particular the South East Asian Disapora about the environmental impact and hazards caused by the recycling of e waste and also encourage the practice of a circular economy.

This is my message for World Fair Trade Day 2023.
I'd like to congratulate all fair trade artisans, producers and organisations around the world,
I wish you a very happy World Fair Trade Day 2023.
This year the World Fair Trade Organization's Theme is Reimagining the Economy.

This month I continued to heal from my shoulder procedure (January 2022) and am learning to live with pain in my right shoulder.
I participated in Fairtrade Ethical Ramadan and Eid ul Fitr 2023 and tried to post a fairtrade product in English and Urdu every fast.
It was my 11th consecutive year supporting and participating in the Six Items Challenge 2023 with Labour Behind The Label.
Ramadan and Eid Mubarak to all my friends, family and fairtrade producers around the world!
This is my blog summarising my effort to support fairtrade producers and artisans during the blessed month of Ramadan and Eid ul Fitr 2023.
This year my right shoulder has been very painful and prevented me from creating vlogs and blogs about Fair Trade in Islam.
On a positive note I tried to post a fair trade product every day during Ramadan and Eid ul Fitr 2023 with translations in English and Urdu.
Apologies in advance for any errors in the Urdu translation.
یہ میرا بلاگ ہے جو رمضان کے بابرکت مہینے میں فیئر ٹریڈ پروڈیوسروں اور دستکاروں کی مدد کرنے کی میری کوششوں کا خلاصہ کرتا ہے۔
اس سال میرے داہنے کندھے میں بہت تکلیف ہوئی اور اس نے مجھے اسلام میں فیئر ٹریڈ کے بارے میں بلاگ اور بلاگ بنانے سے روک دیا۔
