Independent coffee shop owner and Philadelphia native Joe Cesa explains his
feelings on Fair Trade coffee and chocolate, the mega corporation Starbucks,
and of course one or two not so subtle jabs at the Bush regime.

Please visit http://www.independentscoffee.com for more information on
independent Philly coffee shops and Fair Trade products, and be sure to

*Make your Black Friday Slave Free, Through Fair Trade*

You’ve filled your plates and stuffed you faces with the barrage of Turkey
Day delights and now belly full your mind begins to drift to Christmas
Shopping and the Black Friday deals.  So sure prepare yourself for a deal,
but why not shop in the true holiday spirit and give back as you give to
your loved ones this year and shop slave free!

Global March Against Child Labor estimates that one in every eight children
from 5 to 17 years old, some 179 million, work in the worst forms of child
labor. The ILO International Labor Organization estimates that some 80
million plus children under 14 years old work in conditions deemed hazardous
to their health.

*Slavery taints consumer products such as clothing, jewelry, cosmetics,
electronics, sports equipment, rugs, agricultural produce, sugar, tea,
coffee, chocolate, and many other products. *

Often products, like clothing, may even be tainted at multiple points in the
supply chain. For example children may have been used to pick the cotton of
a shirt, while workers were held in situations of slavery and forced to sew
the clothing. Slavery touches each one of us as a consumer, therefore as
don’t waste anymore time you can begin to take a stand against child labor
and work toward being a more conscious consumer and keeping slavery tainted
products out of your home, today in just a few easy steps.

   1. Donate to local organizations that help empower people out of poverty
   & slavery
   2. Educate yourself about the companies that use slavery in the making of
   their products
   3. Don’t buy commercial sex
   4. Become a more conscious consumer and buy products made by survivors of
   trafficking or Fair Trade products.  Amanda Kloer summed it up easily with
   her list of 7 Ways to Fight Slavery at the Grocery
Store<http://humantrafficking.change.org/blog/view/7_ways_to_fight_slavery_at_the_grocery_store>.
   You can also see the Fair Trade and Slave Free
Links<http://children.foreignpolicyblogs.com/2009/11/26/page/fair-trade-and-slave-free-links/>list,
which has a number of resources and sites where you can learn more
   about, and purchase Fair Trade or slave free goods.  However here is a 
quick
   list to get your Black Friday Shopping Started

*This potential for profit-making from climate change gained the avid
attention of investment bankers..* Goldman Sachs became the leader of the
pack; with its ownership of power plants through Cogentrix and clients like
BP and Shell, the Wall Street firm was most attuned to the opportunities. In
2004 the company began to explore the “market-making” possibilities and the
following year established its Center for Environmental Markets, with the
announcement that “Goldman Sachs will aggressively seek market-making and
investment opportunities in environmental markets.”

*Taking care of business*

*The world’s biggest corporations have highjacked the UN climate talks.
That’s bad news for our future, argues Oscar Reyes. *

Until recently, many of the globe’s biggest corporations were firmly in the
climate change denial camp – and funding spurious research to back up their
claims. Now a new realism has emerged. Climate change is no longer rejected
as a bogus theory the economy can ill afford. Instead, it’s a business
opportunity.

Back in the days of George W Bush, the ostrich-headed faction of US industry
held sway. Companies like ExxonMobil saw no profits in ‘climate solutions’,
so opposed any climate legislation. Now, carbon markets – the buying and
selling of the right to pollute – are at the heart of proposals for a new
global deal at the UN Climate Conference in Copenhagen this December, and
the ‘progressive’ wing of big business, backed by large US-based NGOs,
argues that this market-driven approach is the only way to secure an
international emissions reductions deal.

*The problem is, critics say, that carbon markets are delaying genuine
action on climate change, and shifting attention away from the fundamental
task of rapidly phasing out fossil fuels. How did it come to this?

*The Corporate Climate Coup, again*

at the London Climate Camp I informed Oscar - in between moments when he
stopped talking for a second to inhale - of an article published over 2
years ago that provides a more detailed and broader historical analysis of
what the radical historian David F Noble (formerly MIT now York University)
calls The Corporate Climate Coup… the original article and the MP3 of an
interview done on Rabble (Vancouver Cooperative Radio)

for a sensible person, you could see Al Gore’s agenda pretty clearly during
the movie an Inconvenient Truth

*Al Gore; 100 million dollar make-over*
http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/117/features-gore.html

for anyone, who dared criticise Al Gore of his salesmanship of The Corporate
Climate Coup - Carbon Traders Faction, in 2007, if you where lucky you would
get denounced, usually just categorised in the “crazy man” or “denialist”
category

David F Noble points out that the “business opportunities” are not new, and
have been in the pipeline for a very long time..
