  • Where Do Your Jeans Come From? Emilia Is 24 Years Old and Works in a Factory Which Makes Fashion Jeans in Asia
    Read the text. Where do your jeans come from? Emilia is 24 years old and works in a factory which makes fashion jeans in Asia. She lives in a camp for the workers near the factory. She works 75 hours a week. In Europe the average working week is 35–40 hours a week. Emilia earns $5 a day which is less than the minimum wage. She finds it difficult to buy enough food to eat. The minimum wage in the UK is £5 per hour. Emilia works 7 days a week and only gets time off a couple of times a year. ‘Another terrible thing is the production quotas. I have to make a certain number of pairs of jeans every day. So I work and sleep. Every day is like that.’ she says. So Emilia does overtime without being paid. She also cannot join a union. ‘Once, a group of workers went on strike to ask for better wages and a transport and food allowance. All of them were sacked.’ But it doesn’t have to be like that From Africa to America, companies and consumers are changing. Following criticism of sweatshops (factories where workers work in terrible conditions for very low pay), there is increasing interest in ethical clothing – clothing which doesn’t exploit the workers who made it and recognises their rights like: Think English Pre-Intermediate • Unit 3 p.29 © Oxford University Press PHOTOCOPIABLE • a decent wage • paid holidays • the right to join a union • a clean and healthy working environment. British shoppers spent $50 million on ethical products in 2005.

The Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland, as the national association representing members across the surveying disciplines, has in recent years developed rapidly and reorganised into a vibrant professional body, with over 5,500 members, playing an active role in national development. Ireland has a long and notable history of surveying and measurement from the carefully aligned network of hill-top monuments constructed over 5,000 years ago, to the completion of the world’s first large-scale national mapping in the mid nineteenth century and, in the last decade, the National Seabed Survey that ranks amongst the largest marine mapping programmes undertaken anywhere in the world. Meanwhile, Ireland has one of the most open economies in the world and most of the major international IT companies have established bases in Ireland. At the same time, young Irish graduates can be found bringing their skills and enthusiasm to all corners of the world and, in many cases, returning home enriched professionally and culturally by their time abroad.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract As popular music eclipsed Hollywood as the most powerful mode of seduction of Western youth, rock-stars erupted through the counter-culture as potent political figures. Following its sensational arrival, the politics of popular musical culture has however moved from the shared experience of protest movements and picket lines and to an individualised and celebrified consumerist experience. As a consequence what emerged, as a controversial and subversive phenomenon, has been de-fanged and transformed into a mechanism of establishment support.

Photograph: Colin Keegan/Collins Dublin. In the week since her death, the people of Limerick got plenty of time to celebrate the life and mourn the passing of Dolores O’Riordan, their international rock star. Thousands queued in inclement weather to pay their respects when she lay in public repose on two successive days. Traffic management plans were put in place. Books of condolences were filled and replaced by the council. The Taoiseach signed one of them. The President visited her family and tendered his sympathies. Today, that public phase ended. What happened next was not so much a funeral as an enfolding, with the small rural community of Ballybricken – where Dolores felt most at home and the place to which she always returned – coming together to sadly reclaim and bury of one of their own.

  • OCRT PROGRAM HAMBURG 2016 Spiegelsaal, Grand Elysee Hotel Thursday, 6Th October, 9Am - 7.30Pm WELCOME
    OCRT PROGRAM HAMBURG 2016 Spiegelsaal, Grand Elysee Hotel Thursday, 6th October, 9am - 7.30pm WELCOME Five years on, we can look back on the call to action at our inaugural meeting in Hong Kong as the beginning of something we can now properly call “a movement”. The Organic Cotton Round Table (OCRT) is a Platform for Collective Action and Incubator of Great Ideas. It brings us together to be inspired, mobilized, and equipped to act. The OCRT also serves as the official in-person meeting place of the online Global Organic Cotton Community Platform. Organic is a life choice; it’s not simply about a commodity and a market. We choose organic because we boldly want the best, not just “less bad”. We want to use the market – and business – to build a healthier, kinder, safer world for now and for the generations to come. Organic cotton tells a story. A story of health, ecology, fairness, and care. These are the principles of organic agriculture and they go way beyond cotton - to food, to farms, to families, to communities... We know clean water, fertile soils, and a rich biodiversity are the natural capital from which life on earth is sustained and that doing “business as if people mattered” is fundamentally what sustains us as communities. Without equality, peace, diversity and justice there is no way we can achieve a prosperous and thriving economy. We are not separate from nature - we are deeply embedded in it. Five years ago, some may have treated sustainability as an add-on to business - a “nice to have”.
