When I originally set up @askforfairtrade I was thinking of it as a way of people reporting their experience of asking for and getting, or not getting, Fairtrade options in coffee shops etc.

Whilst @askfairtrade has gathered many followers over on Twitter – that aspect of reports hasn’t really taken off.

I’ve not pushed it much – feeling that for now that the very presence of the @askforfairtrade Twitter account is doing good in terms of just reminding people about the importance of choosing a Fairtrade Option… but I would welcome your thoughts on where this micro-campaign project might go next?

>Should @askforfairtrade send out more reminders about reporting where does and doesn’t stock Fairtrade – and push to get reports of places failing to stock Fairtrade?

or

>Should @askforfairtrade take a softer approach – just sending out occaisional reminders about the importance of Fairtrade, and sharing Fairtrade related news?

or should it head in a different direction entirely?

There has been some interesting discussion over on the Ask For Fairtrade twitter stream about getting hold of Fairtrade Decaff coffee when you’re out and about.

If you ask for a Decaff option at many Fairtrade chains then you can be told “it’s one or the other” as easyrew found.

A few @askforfairtrade twitter followers have suggested suppliers of Fairtrade Decaff – but what’s your experience? How easy is to get hold of a cup of decaff Fairtrade when you are out and about? And where are the Fairtrade coffee shops with the best selection of Fairtrade options?
