I've spent the last 5 hours writing an article that was supposed to be published after I push save button.
Well, somehow it dissapeared instead, so I'll give you something to ponder and a couple of hints about what I wrote and lost until tomorrow, when all my frustration will have gone and I develop and write the same article all over again.
1. The poorest people in the world will be affected most by climate change and the poorest people in the world have done the least to cause it. They need a sustainable income if they are to make the investments necessary to help them overcome climate change. There is one way of providing a sustainable income for both farmers and artisans.
2. How much of the price you pay for your coffee bag gets to the producer and how much to everybody else (middle men, supermarket share, brand, taxes)?
3. Another footage from Green Days.

Really curious about the 5 hours work, hope you reconsider writting it again, at least part of it….
In Sweden there is some kind of campaign against fair trade, and ecological farming going on. Some months ago the major agricultural university claimed that ecoogical farming is essentially harful, since it can not feed the world.
Today I read that Fair trade is a stupid idea, because it prevents farmers from developing large scale industrial farming…
As if that was not one of the absolute major problems for the poor today. I think the key to climate, poverty, everything, is what you say - a sustainable income. If that income comes from small scale, ecological, self owned farming - nothing could be better for the rich, the poor and the entire planet.q
@Anca - it’s done
@Daniel - I’ve redeveloped what I planned to write on fair trade (very similar to what you say) in the 3rd part of the series.
I like Sweden a lot, but I think they’re wrong about fair trade. Everything that later turned into industrial producing (including IKEA) started as a small scale business aimed to provide an income for a couple of people. And if it hadn’t worked fine, it wouldn’t have become what it is today.
When you see things globally, you should be able to see them locally, too. And developing countries, producers are poor, they work like slaves for what? To give us coffee and chocolate and bananas, while they keep on starving and dying of hunger.
With green energies at cool prices ... you can make what you want!
To lower the price we must decide in Copenhagen to produce each year 3% more.
It is something near that I have heard from the staff of Obama who want to come!
I am just sad to rest in France for the occasion!
@Adela, keep liking Sweden, we are not all against ecological farming
It was/is a very heated debate, but there are plenty of Swedes engaged in the fair trade movement also. And the city I live in is actually a “Fair Trade city” 
(That means that the municipality buys fair trade coffee etc. when it is possible.)
@Paul - Not everything is related to green energies. I understood your point in a different article & yes, green energies are pylons of sustainability, but this article is not about them.
@Daniel - I’ll keep in mind that for when/if I visit Lund. To make pics and show them to the people here. If it’s possible there, it’s possible everywhere.
Perhaps I have not told you exactly what I had to..
If you have cheap energy, you have a lot cheaper.
If you want Obama come and pay : you must have a positive position.
This one is that all the new techs are the objective of today America.
