Episode 86 – Fair gold – Bling-bling for Valentine's Day, but fair please

On Valentine's Day, millions of people give each other flowers, chocolates or other gifts. Some may even dig deeper into their wallets and give their loved ones jewellery. But you should take a closer look, especially when it comes to gold, to make sure it's fair. Mira and JJ therefore took a look at gold mining in South America. A documentary in the ZDF media centre about "Ecuador's deadly gold mines" made the two of them acutely aware of how the workers risk their lives every day for the valuable raw material. Andy Koch from Fairtrade Max Havelaar Switzerland explains how the label is trying to eliminate such abuses - Fairtrade certifies 14 mines in Peru. One person who favours Fairtrade gold is Jonas Buck, who runs the goldsmith Quite Quiet in Berlin. His partner Johanna and he have worked with Fairtrade gold from the very beginning, even if this involved a few hurdles. Feel free to give us feedback and check out our Instagram for more on the subject: @ichwillfair.
