Given chocolate's status as a&amp;nbsp;conflict substance, it's important to know that ethical (and&amp;nbsp;tasty!) chocolate is readily available.&amp;nbsp;

Why is this important?&amp;nbsp;

With Fair Trade chocolate:

If you suddenly came face to face with President Barack Obama, what would you say?

Gillian Caldwell found herself in that position last week when she encountered the President on a rope-line. Caldwell – the leader of the climate-action group 1Sky – decided to debate the President over his position on coal.

As she shook...

Okay, maybe I’ve lost my sense of humor in my seventies but there’s one Super Bowl ad that I hated, and it’s the one that is getting the most attention.&amp;nbsp; It featured the elderly but ever game Betty White as a football player who gets tackled and trounced on in the field, only to be transformed into a youthful male...
