Go Bananas Challenge
We need your help rallying consumers to purchase and demand Fair Trade bananas! We’re making it easy, fun and rewarding. Go Bananas from October 1 to October 14 by organizing Fair Trade banana themed events in your community.
Conscious consumers and Fair Trade campaigners across the country will tally up how many Fair Trade bananas are consumed or how many participants attended their events to enter the Go Bananas Challenge!
Win these Prizes!
