Fair Trade

So in the process of doing research about Colombia for a paper I came across this website. I don't know how many of you knew about this already, but you can search for companies in your area that use Fair Trade Certified products (major cities work best). It's a pretty darn easy way to find someplace to shop where you can be sure they are thinking globally.

Hope you're all having fun shopping for Christmas :-). I know I'm having a pretty difficult time trying to figure out what to buy/make/do for people.

Blood Diamonds

I was surfing the net and came upon this---a very indepth look at the diamond trade. Good stuff!
