About Me

"Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could only do a little." Lift the Label is Tearfund's ethical lifestyle campaign designed to challenge, inspire and equip you to make a real difference. Every day we all make loads of big and small decisions which have an impact on people all over the world. The campaign covers four areas, Food (where does what you eat come from?), Fashion (who made the clothes on your back?), Finance (who's looking after your money and what are they doing with it?) and Future (what are we doing to our world, and how should we change?) We have loads more info on each "F" (!) which will help you get informed, tell you what you can do about it and show you how to tell your mates! Head to Lift the Label and get involved! Lift the Label Video - Highlighting how our decisions about what we wear can make a difference.For more Tearfund vids, Go Here
