On another site, I<BR>><BR>>read that Tvind is currently under criminal trail (fraud and tax evasion) in<BR>><BR>>Denmark, and several leaders have fled the country. Tvind is clear-cutting<BR>>in a 101,00 hectare forest in Siberia and is running banana and sugar cane<BR>>plantations in South America in grand colonial style. No fair trade<BR>>practices here -- conditions for workers have deteriorated since Tvind<BR>>acquired the properties. Planet Aid dollars are pennies relative to the<BR>>parent company Tvind. A British supermarket chain has banned the clothing<BR>>collection
boxes. Should we work to get the boxes out of Baltimore? I sent<BR>><BR>>a note to the news editor at City Paper...<BR>><BR>>Peace,<BR>>Dorrie<BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>>Sources:<BR>>http://www.tvindalert.com/<BR>>http://www.rickross.com/groups/tvind.html<BR>><BR>> >From: "Christine Gray" <langwidge@erols.com><BR>> >Reply-To: The Charles Village Chat List <Chat@charlesvillage.info><BR>> >To: "'The Charles Village Chat List'" <Chat@charlesvillage.info><BR>> >CC: 'Charles Village Discussion List' <Discussion@charlesvillage.info><BR>> >Subject: [Chat] Planet Aid and tvind<BR>> >Date: Sun, 10 Dec 2006 05:09:20 -0500<BR>> ><BR>> >About three months ago, I did some online research about Planet Aid and its<BR>> >yellow boxes.<BR>> ><BR>> ><BR>>
