I received the following and thought it would be good to share ...
(Bet Sharon's already had it ... I'm on a mission to post a link to something she hasn't known about for ages ...)
Hello D,
We just wanted to send you a quick e-mail about Starbucks, and ask you to put pressure on the coffee company to give coffee farmers a fairer deal.
It's simple: the Ethiopian government has asked Starbucks to sign an agreement that recognises Ethiopia's legal ownership of its coffee names. This will give Ethiopia's 15 million farmers a better cut of the profits.
Despite its much-publicised commitments to farming communities, Starbucks refuses to take the Ethiopian request seriously.
WHAT YOU CAN DO - Click here to go to the Starbucks Action MySpace page:
And then take the action: click the link and send an automated fax to the
CEO of Starbucks, telling him to give Ethiopian farmers a fair deal.
If you're on MySpace, add it as one of your top friends, send a bulletin with a link or spread the word in any way you can.
Whatever you do, please take action!
Thanks loads for your time,
Oxfam Generation Why

Done!
You beat me to it on that one! I did have some kind of Starbucks mail the other day but I didn't read it. With about 250 emails a day, many of which are press releases, a lot of stuff that could've been interesting ends up in the bin. But that's where you come in handy :-)
Am off to do my good deed now.
Also done.........
Also done.
