This Valentine's Day - Unchain Your Heart

Just in time for Valentine's Day, the Organic Consumers Association presents an entertaining flash animation called: "SLAMMED." Wanna win the heart of your loved one? Watch this one minute movie and find out the best way to please your beloved while supporting organics and Fair Trade. http://www.organicconsumers.org/valentines/slammed.htm

With cameo "romance scene" appearances from G.W. Bush, Siegfried and Roy, and the gal and guy living down the road from you (you know the two), SLAMMED leaves its viewers with a whole new perspective on Valentine's Day.

While millions of people throughout the Americas will be giving flowers and chocolates this Valentine's Day to their loved ones, few are aware that these gifts are often tainted by toxic pesticides, child slavery, and labor exploitation. Commercial flowers are the most toxic and heavily sprayed agricultural crops on Earth. Flower industry workers, in nations like Colombia and Ecuador, often young women, are routinely abused and exploited. Forty percent of the world's chocolate comes from Africa's Ivory Coast, where child slavery is widespread, and starvation wages are the norm.

This Valentine's Day, slam the door on the corporate kingpins of the global chocolate and flower industry. Show your sweetie you really care by buying Organic and Fair Trade Valentine's Day chocolate and flowers.
