As a keen camper who loves being outdoors, I am one of thousands of people who enjoy barbequeing. Barbeques are not just for meat eaters. Plant-based options include vegetable kebabs, grilled vegetables and home-made vegan burgers.
Today, I read a piece in The Co-operative Food magazine about their Fairly Traded Charcoal. Although I used to work for The Co-operative, I didn't realise that they were the first retailer to launch fairly traded charcoal back in 2009. The charcoal they stock is from Namibia, and The Co-operative ensure that the producers have contracts, are provided with free kilns and that they typically receive three times the minimum wage. So, if you want to barbeque with a conscience this summer (when we get nice weather again here in the UK!), you know where to shop.
