Description: This series investigates just how lots of familiar household items are put together. This is explored in an ethical and fair trade context, featuring information on both good and bad working environments around the world, and highlighting the work of Fairtrade and similar organisations. Well Made, Fair Trade: My T-shirt and Other Clothes looks at the problems faced by the people who produce the fabrics for and make our clothes, and explores how fair trade projects are helping them.
