Dear Sir/Madam

I would like to make sure that your organisation is not affiliated to either Oxfam or the Make Poverty History campaign before I purchase one of your excellent as you presently carry a link on your website. You will appreciate that I am making an autonomous conscious decision to use your products to conserve the living environment.

I do not want to support any organisation that works with Oxfam or charities linked to the Make Poverty History Campaign. You will appreciate that many people purchase organic products for ethical reasons. It is difficult to purchase products from a campaign that dismissed protestors concerned about the reasons for poverty, anti-war protestors and the fact that this organisation used wrist bands that were made by sweat shop workers in China. The charities also failed to highlight the real reason for poverty is because natural resources, which were previously freely available are being privatised and sold at prices that ordinary people cannot afford. This means people in ostensibly poor countries are not given the opportunity to live sustainably. I believe people across the world have the the right to autonomy and self-determination particularly for essential resources which nature has provided to the earth in abundance. You will note that none of these resources arrive with branding from either Oxfam, Make Poverty History or Monsanto.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely

earthstar
