What's Green, Sticky And Makes You Feel Sick?

Oxfam's green candy floss, that's what! Oxfam campaigners will be handing it out for free at this year's Glastonbury festival and it’s bound to make you feel really sick. Not because its terrible candy floss but because of the serious message behind the spun sugar: the EU is dumping cheap, subsidised, sugar on poor countries and depriving poor sugar farmers of their livelihoods. Our unwanted sugar is forcing people into poverty. And that’s no laughing matter.

This year the Glastonbury Festival is supporting Oxfam’s campaign to Make Trade Fair. Festival goers who join the Big Noise, Oxfam’s global petition for fairer trade rules, have a chance to win a guitar signed by Chris and Jonny from Coldplay, Noel Gallagher, Ms Dynamite and all the other artists who played at London’s Astoria in support of Make Trade Fair last October.

Find out why protestors across the globe, including Nelson Mandela, archbishop Desmond Tutu and the Dali Lama, have added their voice to the Big Noise by logging on to the award-winning website:
