  http://www.unfairtrade.co.uk/
  Unfair Trade is being developed by students from a London comprehensive school.
  It is a forum for young people to consider and discuss the human issues surrounding global trade. In our view, the globalised economy brings development and prosperity that is not always equally shared, and can sometimes result in the unnecessary and unjustifiable exploitation of people. Rather than merely condemn, we would like to encourage readers to contemplate the meaning of development. The issues are complex!
