Wake up folks. Lend a hand !

It is the elixir of many a morning and the finale of a sumptuous meal.

Yet like much of the bountiful food on our supermarket shelves those that produce it do not receive a fair wage for fair days work that many of us would rather not do.

I liked the logo, but you can stay right here and watch the trailer below.

Of course this is only one example of many resources that are consumed by many due to our modern economy that leaves room for people in power to exploit the situation of the detriment local peoples who are quite happy living their life.

Yet many feel these peoples are dragged into the modern age in the name of development and civilization. So thousands of years of indigenous culture are moved out of the area to be exploited for timber, gold, diamonds, and a multitude of other demands of the consume society that makes growth, the yard stick of progress.

Surely this is wrong and needs to be re-examined and other options to be seriously considered.
