Gap, world's third largest apparel company, still hasn't gotten the message on Bangladesh worker safety

Wed 22 May 2013
By Anonymous

Gap thinks its consumers are idiots. It says it will sign the Bangladesh Fire Safety Agreement with one small change: the removal of the provision that makes the Agreement legally binding. But that "small change" would gut the entire Agreement and make it totally unenforceable. And as Gap tries to stop real reform in the Bangladeshi garment industry, it keeps trying to convince that it's a leader in social responsibility, even putting a ridiculous website to brag about how much it cares about workers.

Heading for cooler waters - Climate change impact of warming oceans on global fish stocks

Sun 19 May 2013
By takver

For the first time scientists have demonstrated the impact of climate change on ocean warming and sea surface temperatures affecting global fisheries stocks. Previous studies were limited to individual fisheries. The changes have been occurring clearly since the 1970s, the scientists say. The implications of this research raises the need for timely changes in fisheries management practices and adaptation plans for communities dependant on fishing, particularly climate vulnerable developing countries in the tropics.

"Given global fisheries contribute hugely to the world's economy and food security, this is a significant finding," said co-author Dr Reg Watson from the University of Tasmania's specialist Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies."We are no longer talking about future hypotheticals - we are talking about impacts on a global scale that we can already demonstrate."
