Dorrie, great idea about contacting the City Paper.

I wish I'd thought of that.

The paper could/should, I think, write a very interesting expose type
article on this scam front.

Wow.  Thanks, Christine.  I guess that about sums it up.  On another site, I

read that Tvind is currently under criminal trail (fraud and tax evasion) in

Denmark, and several leaders have fled the country.  Tvind is clear-cutting 
in a 101,00 hectare forest in Siberia and is running banana and sugar cane 
plantations in South America in grand colonial style.  No fair trade 
practices here -- conditions for workers have deteriorated since Tvind 
acquired the properties.  Planet Aid dollars are pennies relative to the 
parent company Tvind.  A British supermarket chain has banned the clothing 
collection boxes.  Should we work to get the boxes out of Baltimore?  I sent

a note to the news editor at City Paper...

Peace,
Dorrie
