New clothes! I love having new clothes to wear. I bought a top today that is made of organic cotton. I now have several organic pieces of clothing, but I don't really know how it helps anything. The plants might not have been sprayed with pesticides, but the workers probably haven't been paid anything. At the end of the day, I think that the lives of the workers in the poor, cotton growing countries would be improved more if they could afford to buy food, rather than knowing that the food that they can't afford is pesticide free.
Speaking of not being able to afford things, I desperately need to find a summer job. I've handed out no end of application forms, but there just don't seem to be any available positions at the moment. The places that did accept them haven't replied. Do you know why this is? The credit crunch! Which means that I can barely afford to buy the clothes that don't pay their workers, so they lose profits, so they can't afford to buy their organic food. See the pattern emerging?
Maybe the government ought to try to do something about the state of the economy? I mean, in their own time though. Just a suggestion.
Love,
Emmy
