lunar1126 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I posted some links here: http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=35025 (3rd post down). The 4th link does a fine job of explaining the concept fair trade (in a short little video), and how its practice can help marginalized producers/farmers become self-sustaining (allowing them a living wage and sustainable development) while still participating in the global market. Go here: http://www.eq.tv/ This thread would be a great place to start up a lively discussion about fair trade...if people have questions/comments about what it is, post them here!

victaniac Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Have you guys seen that Two Fingers to Poverty video? It's the clip of Chris while in Ghana. Chris gives quite a bit of insight on how unfair trade hurts farmers and their families. It's really short, but definitely gets the point across. Anyway, here's a few petitions one can sign to help the cause and inform ourselves a bit! :smiley: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/619386565 http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/265059134 http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/732707055 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
