The Big Fair Trade Morning Break Co-ordinator
Email Samantaha Eyre
I moved to Melbourne in late 2010, with my partner, from Ireland. Since January 2011 I have been
working as a sustainability consultant here in Melbourne, having lived for a little while in beautiful
Tassie. I’m very fortunate to love what I do. I work with amazing people and get to work on some pretty
great projects. My background is in global environmental change and policy, where I took an interest in
the strong links between climate change impacts and the disproportionate effects these impacts will most
likely have on people in developing countries. I think Fairtrade are playing an important role in
creating change for these people as well as building their own capacity to shape their future.
