a new campaign

Make Poverty History. We've all seen the ads, and those fashionable (?) plastic wristbands ... which some would suggest are just another accessory for the growing movement of 'slacktivism' (btw, I do like this word ... 'slacktivism' ... it really captures our passive attempts at 'making a difference'. I wear a bracelet, and then what? so what?)

So, it's time for a new campaign - Make Affluence History. Not poverty - affluence. Can we really tackle poverty without first addressing our own affluence and greed? How tightly are the two linked together?

So, check it out: Make Affluence History ... what do you think?
