Ok, I promise that our writing for Green Options will not keep us from publishing original content here on the Two Hands blog. It’s just that this week has been relatively crazy as we are beginning to meet with accountants, lawyers and bankers about financing the opening of the storefront in downtown Lawrence. In fact, if you’re interested in investing in a venture that will provide a reasonable financial return along with a significant social return, please, by all means contact us and we will send you a copy of the business plan and make arrangements to talk. In any case with all this going on we’ve only had time to fulfill our Green Options writing obligations this week.

Today Alicia has a great post up on Green Options that serves well as an introduction to the intersection of international trade, human rights and sustainable development. Please go give it a read.
