Hello Good People
News flash! This Sat (26 May), the Session Topic won't be a News Swap. The topic is very special:
What country is this?
--University places taken by women = 65%
--Women as a paid percentage of the work force = 13%
--the UK govt advises British citizens NOT to travel there
--the US govt suggests American citizens "carefully consider the risks" before traveling
there
It's Iran. TIiA member Yvonne recently traveled there, and we are lucky enough, in this next session, to have her share her experiences and photos.
Optional preparation:
Find out some more information about Iran.
To register, please use the registration sheet in the original Session Announcement. Only the topic has changed, not the place. The session will still be at member Christine's house near Liuzhangli MRT station.
Please register by this Friday 25 May, 12 noon. After you register, you'll be sent Christine's address.
Thanks, hope to see you there!
:) Lynn

Fair Trade event this Sat 12 May!
Hello Good People
There's no TIiA session this Sat because of the Mother's Day holiday...(Happy Mother's Day to all your mothers! I just tried to add a photo of a carnation here, but my computer skills are not up to speed, I'm afraid!) Our next session will be Sat May 26.
If you're looking for something interesting to do this Sat, here's a good idea :). I'm going to try to go. I just got this notice below from our Fair Trade coffee friend Mr Hsu.

親愛朋友您好:
冒昧打擾,希望大家一切平安、順心。很快的又到了一年一度世界公平貿易日,今年生態綠將在5月12日星期六,母親節前一天,於下午1點在台灣博物館館前廣場盛大舉辦「群星支持公平貿易慈善演唱會」及「公平貿易茶水間表揚大會」,還有可以讓您盡情挖寶的「公平貿易市集」與「公平貿易有獎徵答」。如果一天的母親節不夠,不妨在5月12日前來台灣博物館這邊,與我們一起度過世界公平貿易日,歌頌大地之母。
2012世界公平貿易日慈善演唱會暨公平貿易茶水間表揚大會詳細訊息(請點閱http://fairtrade.org.tw/?page_id=15): 主辦單位:台灣公平貿易協會、台灣博物館、生態綠商業有限公司、台灣社會企業創新創業學會、輔仁大學社會企業研究中心/
贊助單位:台灣新社會智庫協會、星展銀行(台灣)、地球樹、馥聚、繭裏子
而去年六月中,在學界、社會人士等各界的加入下,「台灣公平貿易協會」正式成立,並在去年11月份邀請國際公平貿易標籤組織高級主管來台推廣公平貿易標籤與認證體系,以及全球公平貿易發展現況。很開心宣布「台灣公平貿易協會」官方網站(fairtrade.org.tw)與臉書粉絲團(http://www.facebook.com/fairtrade.tw)也已正式上線,邀請大家加入協會粉絲專頁,持續關注台灣公平貿易的發展。
協會將會持續推動公平貿易教育、開發公平貿易教材、推動國際接軌工作、引領台灣青年參與國際公平貿易事務與擴展公平貿易市場,讓更多貧窮國家的小農與生產者,也有經濟獨立、脫離接受救援的機會。而這一切都需要大家的小額捐款義助,透過您的小額捐款,讓協會的能量聚集起來,給貧窮國家弱勢的生產者與農民,也給我們自己,一個改變世界的可能。把台灣跟世界連結在一起,彼此關懷與分享。

2010年與2011年:再度連結國內公平貿易的夥伴馥聚、地球樹等,並首次串聯Facebook網絡平台推出三波公平貿易活動與影展。
2012年:世界公平貿易日在「台灣公平貿易協會」的推波助瀾下,發起「2012世界公平貿易日慈善演唱會暨公平貿易茶水間表揚大會」的系列活動,而活動主題聚焦在表揚長期於辦公室內提供公平貿易產品的企業團體,以推動企業的公平採購。

Save Our Oceans Petition
Hello Good People
Remember when we played Fishbanks? (Well some people did--it's an environmental awareness game about fishing, highlighting the fact that the world is being overfished, ie the numbers of fish in the ocean are going down fast) Anyway, if you're concerned about fish, here's a good petition to sign:
http://www.avaaz.org/en/72_hours_to_save_our_oceans/?cuUJaab
I just signed--it needs to be done by Sat night (5 May), I believe...
Cheers

5/5抗暖化連連看!
全球暖化造成的氣候變遷事實已經發生在台灣,影響你我的生活,
還記得,3年前莫拉克颱風短短兩三天就把台灣一年份所需的雨量下完,這樣極端的氣候,大地無法負荷,帶走我們的人民,不停的雨,在我們臉上,衝擊我們台灣的土地。 全球暖化帶來的影響有氣候變遷、海洋酸化、糧食危機、海平面上升…
持續的溫度上升,原因來自大氣的溫室氣體持續增加,尤其是CO2不斷被排放到大氣中,根據學術報告大氣中的CO2濃度需小於350 ppm,才能延續地球未來,然而目前大氣CO2濃度是392 ppm,我們必須立即採取行動。這個世界的問題,看似又多又很龐雜。天啊!頭好痛,該怎麼辦?如果整個世界是個大機器,那麼我們每一個人都是個小齒輪,只要同心協力,一定可以推動更美好的未來,從了解到改變,從改變到行動 。
