There is a lot of injustice in our world. In fact, that's why I haven't written on The Futon in a while, I've been off fighting injustice. Doing my part to free people literally trapped in slavery working for less than a dollar a day. It was a tough dilemma for me, because here I am, like super-hero to the masses you know, and I feel like I should just fly on over, kick some bad dude butt, rescue little kids, kick some more bad dude butt, maybe put in a clean water well or two, and then zoom back before dinner. But my cape got "lost" at the dry cleaners, and I simply refuse to fly without it.
Then I heard about Trade as One. They are doing all that rad life saving stuff without a cape. All by focusing their efforts into buying Fair Trade goods. Brilliant idea, I love it. Head on over there, check it out. Do your part.
There is just one thing... Trade as One? What kinda name is that? I mean, why not Trade as Twenty Nine, or Trade as One Hundred Forty Two. Everyone knows the bigger the number the better. I don't know how that one got past marketing.
