Dear Masca, 

I was reading an article about how to end poverty , and i remember when you mention this foundation named Fairtrade that you didn't know what it was . I started investigating about it and this is what i found.

Fairtrade is an association that give a percentage of a trade of a product to the producer , for example when a farmer collect a vegetable , that vegetable when is sold the farmer will win a percentage of the trade. Here is a better definition from the Fairtrade official page it said that if you buy products with the Fairtrade Mark you help farmers and workers to improve their lives ,the mark means that the product is produced by a small-scale farmer or workers organisation or plantation that meet Fairtrade Social. Buying those products help the workers gain a percentage of the trade and to improve their lives and working condition .

And this is what i found searching about Fairtrade , for my opinion is a very good way to improve workers and farmers life , and a little way to decrease the worlds proverty. Just like you only knew the name i did not know about all the association , i wish you could understand all this and consider when you buy something you can change many lives .

See you later

Scientists have spent decades figuring out what is causing global warming. They've looked at the natural cycles and events that are known to influence climate. But the amount and pattern of warming that's been measured can't be explained by these factors alone. The only way to explain the pattern is to include the effect of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emitted by humans.

Climate change is the single biggest environmental and humanitarian crisis of our time. The Earth's atmosphere is overloaded with heat-trapping carbon dioxide, which threatens large-scale disruptions in climate with disastrous consequences. We must act now to spur the adoption of cleaner energy sources at home and abroad.

Thank you Renato , as he was talking a violent israeli bombing strike hit a small school of the UN located in the city of Rafah , Gaza. This strike has left 10 dead and other 35 injured , 6 of them were children.

The UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said "that this madness must stop" and described the strike as a "moral outrage and a criminal act " as he calls and end to the fight.

Dear Miss Reginato ,

This letter is representing all the skaters of our region . Along time ago you told us about this enormous project of this skate-park in Sausalito , we count on you , but you fail us.

This city is surrounded by pro skaters , that the only thing that they want to do is continue their career of skating , but they dont have place . The people in the streets are bored of skaters , they said that we destroy things and we bother the people , but its no our problem to dont have place to practice this sport. You promise us that this will be complete in the summer , and we are in winter and its not done yet. Apart of this sport they are to many diferent sports that people practice , and they are not places to do it . You say that Viña is called "City of Sports" , why you dont count all of this underrated sports.

Please finish this commitment , this is a beautiful sport and you will do a favor to all of us .

I hope you read this.

Sincerely

Eduardo Buzeta
