Bokashi composter review in Wiggly Wigglers 2008 catalogue

Bokashi composter review
Bokashi composter review in Wiggly Wigglers 2008 catalogue

Wiggly Wigglers new catalogue was launched on 14th March 2008.
It was built using contributions from customers and friends from around the world using social media. The new catalogue is presented in a scrap book style, packed full of clippings, quotes, family snaps as well as professional photography and product descriptions. It is a radical format for a mail order company and it looks more like a book than a conventional catalogue.

You can find my Bokashi composter review on page 19 of the catalogue.

A living wage for the people who make your clothes

Photobucket

The campaign group Labour Behind the Label are lobbying large corporations in the UK to pay garment workers a living wage:

"We all know that fashion executives and supermodels live in excess on seven-figure salaries, while garment workers remain - systematically, across the world - mired in a poverty trap. This winter, LBL is calling on the fashion industry - and four companies in particular - to finally live up to its promise to pay workers a living wage."
"Even adjusting for the lower cost of living in developing countries, most earn just a half of what they need to get by. Workers producing the clothes we wear can be earning as little as 22p per hour in Mauritius, £1.13 per day in India, £16 per month in Sri Lanka, £145 per year in Bangladesh."

If you'd like to take direct action and support the LBL campaign, please visit their website for further details:
