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
