 We've got a new supply of the famous outdoor carpets, in a variety of sizes and patterns. Madmats are made from 95% recycled plastic!
Just wash them off with a garden hose. They come with velcro stays so they won't blow off of your deck. And most important, they are produced with a commitment to ecological and social responsibility. |

Workers in India, including children, will die grinding gemstones for Valentine's Day.
- Workers are paid just 17 ½ to 33 ½ cents an hour to do one of the most dangerous jobs in the world, squatting in front of primitive grinding wheels, using their fingers to press agate and other semi-precious stones against the wheels to shape them. In the process they are covered with silica dust.
- Many workers start when they are 12 or 13 years old.
- Thirty percent of all gemstone grinders will die of silicosis.
Sign the letter supporting the rights of gemstone workers in India to a safe workplace and fair wages.fdf
