Green Wife
16 February 2008
The first of an occasional column on the perils of trying to be green, run a family and live a pleasurable life.
My chocolate chip cookies have arrived at the farm shop. Caroline apologises as I walk in: ‘I’m afraid they’re Fairtrade.’
‘All the better,’ I reply. ‘Why on earth would that be a problem?’
‘They’re a little dearer. Some people don’t want to pay the extra pennies.’
Eleven packets equals a few extra pounds, but I’m happy to spread a little ethical largesse, particularly since we’re going to sell them for £1 each (including a cup of tea) at the big badger debate. Organic Fairtrade would have been even better.
