[Media Drop] Fair Trade where every purchase matters..
.
On May 13, Dr. Bronner’s, family-owned maker of the top-selling natural brand of soap in North America, in partnership with its global network of distributors, will celebrate World Fair Trade Day, and Nature’s Glory Singapore is part of this meaningful event.
“Buying fair trade products can make a difference to producers in developing countries. To them, getting a guaranteed fair price for their goods could mean being able to send their children to school, or putting them on the path out of poverty. Fair trade reduces poverty, encourages environmentally-friendly production methods, and safeguards humane working conditions,” says Peter Lim, President and CEO of Nature’s Glory Singapore.
Fair trade is a movement that empowers farmers to organize and earn a livelihood within the highly competitive global marketplace.
“Look for the fair trade label on products when you shop next time. We can all make a real difference with fair trade as it brings social justice and environmental sustainability.” says Christopher Lim, Director of Research and Marketing for Nature’s Glory.
.
In Singapore, Dr. Bronner’s will have featured promotions throughout the month of May at participating retailers, including Nature’s Glory, in-store and through their e-shop; selected NTUC Finest outlets; major Watson’s outlets; and selected health and wellness stores.

【反對日印核能協定!國際連署募集中】
日本首相安倍晉三將於12月11日訪問印度,可能簽署以輸出日本核電技術與設施為前提的核能協定。
印度是福島核災後,最積極企圖持續發展核能的國家之一,官方預計由8座核電廠增加至90座,使核能發電佔比由目前的3%於2050年提升到25%。而法、加、英等國都曾與印度簽署民用核合作協議,俄、韓正積極向印度推銷核電,澳洲也於今年簽下了與印度的鈾礦出口協議。
我們要嚴正的指出,這些工業大國向印度傾銷電的同時,伴隨的是對當地底層人民基本權利的犧牲,以俄羅斯曾和印度政府秘密簽署的一項條約為例,條約保障向印度出口核電技術的俄羅斯,在印度發生核子事故時能夠免於賠償的責任;擔憂農業、漁業等生計受到影響的民眾,起而反對傑塔普及庫丹古蘭等核電廠興建,卻遭到政府軟禁、逮捕、槍殺等對待;不願意簽訂《不擴散核武條約》的印度,近年更成為了開發中國家中擁有最大核武發展計畫的國家,更多的核能協議、核電興建案,也將擴大印度核武發展的條件、帶來全球核武擴散的威脅。
許多印度的核電學者、環境運動者也指出印度核電廠包括惡劣的勞動條件、低於國際的安全標準、缺乏疏散計畫等問題,而電力傳輸基礎建設不足、能源效率不佳等根本問題尚未被解決的同時,許多用電需求本來就不高的農、漁村,卻被迫在所謂「經濟發展」的大旗下被犧牲。
福島殷鑑不遠,輻射汙水問題、食品安全、居民健康與安置、地方產業復甦等都仍是未解的艱難課題;而日本的核能發電占比已從原來的三成,降至目前的不到1%,我們呼籲日本不應為了鞏固自身的核工業利益,與印度簽署核能協定,卻帶來核武擴散的風險、並犧牲印度基層人民的權益。
