Here's a little more of the girl I posted last time. I really like that she doesn't just paint, she uses creative things to make her art. In another video, she makes a portrait of Lady Gaga out of broken heart-shaped suckers.
On another note...
Buy Fair Trade to support local economies in developing countries and help bring down corporations that make it impossible for good people, farmers, and producers to have a position in the global marketplace. It focuses particularly on exports from developing countries, to developed countries. Especially handicrafts, coffee, cocoa, sugar, tea, bananas, honey, cotton, wine, fresh fruit, chocolate and flowers are sold and Fair Trade sold approximately 4.1 billion dollars worth worldwide in 2008.
This is the Fair Trade certification mark. If you see it on something, get it!!!!!!!
I really think Fair Trade is a wonderful movement. It's about time someone promoted trade justice internationally. Something has to be done with all the poverty, and it must be quite empowering for the producers involved.
