Bono edits the Independent for product RED

Strange bedfellows as Bono edits, Condaleeza Rice and Armani contribute to a special edition of Britain's venerable daily The Independent, in support of product RED, a big, slick, largely corporate campaign to donate product profits to fight AIDS in Africa.

First economical fair trade I have seen

Click on above title for World Centric Fair Trade & Eco Store, first aggregation I have seen of credible fair trade organic cotton clothing and biodegradable, compostable utensils and picnic ware at excellent competitive real world prices that I for one can afford. I ordered 4 organic natural unbleached undyed cotton t shirts for about $47 shipped. They arrived in 2 days, The organization threw in a 5th shirt and a note with hand written thanks. The shirts are attractive natural cotton colour, heavy tightly knit high quality; a little too high quality as I prefer lower quality thin loosely knit that breathe a little more, but they will be great after 5 or 10 washings. I have not checked out their chocolate or other recommendations.
