February 14, 2008: Valentine’s Day Gifts

Join us as we look into ethical issues surrounding two popular Valentine’s gifts: chocolate and flowers. Matt Street takes the task of finding the best fair trade chocolate for his Valentine very seriously, and brings us conversations he had with Ottawa chocolate vendors and chocolatiers.

Turning to flowers, Carol Hunsberger gets into the economics of the international flower trade and tells us about some of the social and environmental justice issues that are tied up in a bouquet of roses.
