Coldplay Brings Attention To Free Trade

Hong Kong, China (AHN) - Chris Martin of Coldplay says that the band doesn't want to impose its political beliefs on others, but the band members feel it's their responsibility to use their celebrity status to bring attention to important issues.

The band supports Oxfam's fair trade campaign, which lobbies against trade policies that negatively affect developing countries, such as the influx of goods from developed countries.

Martin said at a news conference in Hong Kong before a Coldplay concert on Thursday "We don't want to be preachy, we just say those words (fair trade), and make sure people look it up themselves. When one or two people take pictures of us, we feel like we could start advertising something we care about."
