If You Really Cared

Kick all agricultural subsidies (kickAAS), an orgainization dedicated to ending agricultural subsidies (via ND).

In Nick's own words. Excerpt:

Trade barriers and subsidies in the US, Europe and Japan cripple sugarcane growers, cotton pickers, and millions of other farm workers in Latin America and Africa. It's a crime, against free-market principles, as well as global justice.

And in complete contrast, on the frivolous side...
I just purchased a Giulio bench and two bar stools for a grand total of $265. DWR was having a warehouse sale and because the sale was in the last hours everything was 50% off already heavily discounted prices. The regular price for the bench alone is almost $900. Pure joy.
