I quote myself because there is a direct correlation between the Louis Vuitton campaign, their 49% stake of Edun and Edun producing cheaply in China - saying they produce ethical clothing, helping African workers to improve their situation.
I also mentioned what I do to engage myself in helping African people. So I actually go ahead and do something. There is no "instead of". Unfortunately I rarely meet heads of states, so my contribution is rather unnoticed.
You seem to agree with Bono's approach, so I'd be interested to know how you see the situation. For a start -
What's your position on the wages Edun pays it's African workers and on another note, the copyright on Aids and Malaria drugs?
When Edun renewed their website I also noticed that much was now made in china, which dissapointed me a lot. Before it was in mainly South American or African countries. Pity they went this way, I even emailed them why they produce now in china, but never got an answer. Has nothing to do anymore with ethical clothing. Made in china you can see anywhere
