That article was excellent!  Everyone should read at least read this:

> So what should the ethically minded consumer do? Things that are less fun 
> than shopping, alas. Real change will require action by governments, in the 
> form of a global carbon tax; reform of the world trade system; and the 
> abolition of agricultural tariffs and subsidies, notably Europe's monstrous 
> common agricultural policy, which coddles rich farmers and prices those in 
> the poor world out of the European market. Proper free trade would be by far 
> the best way to help poor farmers. Taxing carbon would price the cost of 
> emissions into the price of goods, and retailers would then have an incentive 
> to source locally if it saved energy. But these changes will come about only 
> through difficult, international, political deals that the world's 
> governments have so far failed to do.
