Take heart…PLEASE! First of all, what are we teaching our kids when we buy them Flat Stanley-sized boxes of Valentine’s Day cards, so intimately perforated along the edges, [...] (Source: My journey with AIDS) My journey with AIDS blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=4455434 Wed, 09 Feb 2011 15:36:55 +0100 4455434 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3545423&cid=t_106508_87_f&fid=36050&url=http%3A%2F%2Fblisstree.com%2Flive%2Fworld-fair-trade-day-is-tomorrow%2F World Fair Trade Day (Saturday, May is a global celebration of Fair Trade, the trading partnership initiative that aims to combat poverty, food crises, and global warming.

Look! It’s our very first reader giveaway since we launched! (But it won’t be our last.) And the sweet prizes come from a little Seattle-based coffee shop called Starbucks. Heard of it? Right now, Starbucks buys 75 percent of all its coffee from responsibly grown, ethically traded sources, and the company aims to up that number to 100 percent by 2015. (Last year, Starbucks also bought 40 million pounds of Fair Trade Certified coffee, which means it purchases more Fair Trade Certified coffee than anyone else in the world.) Pretty cool, huh? So Blisstree partnered with Starbucks to give a little something back to our readers. Two l...

This is especially true when we would rather not spend our money at Big Box stores that care little about where products are made, how the workers who made them were treated, and other factors that make being a conscious consumer a morally and ethically painful experience.With that thought in mind, here are suggestions for ways to give that will delight the recipients while also giving back something meaningful to the world at large. This is not an exhaustive list by any means, but it is a good start for those who wish to shop in a manner that has a ripple effect beyond the cash register.Global Exchange Fair Trade Store: fair trade gifts from around the worldThe Hunger Site Store: gift...

Dean's Beans, Global Exchange, Equal Exchange, and other progressive companies have catapulted this practice into the mainstream, and Middle America is beginning to understand how its thirst for coffee can fuel worker exploitation and environmental degradation.That said, places like Starbucks (no link needed---they don't need free advertising) pay some lip service to fair trade, inconsistently offering one or two fair-trade flavors, but could do a great deal more to support the cause. With their profits through th...

Comparing two small cities - Salaberry-de-Valleyfield (pop. +/- 40,000), in the extreme southwestern corner of the province, and Rivière-du-Loup (pop. 22,439), several hundred kilometers to the northeast – the newspaper contrasts the economies, and the fortunes [...] (Source: My journey with AIDS) My journey with AIDS blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=495606 Sat, 03 Mar 2007 21:51:23 +0100 495606
