Proud of my beloved's shot there that shows all the places great shoes, and the people who choose them, go.

Would appreciate someone from adbusters/blackspot explaining to me how they feel about how much i had to spend to get my wife the shoes you are seeing in this cool pic she took, as well as the crazy carbon footprint of the route they had to travel to get to us: made in, at that time, Portugal (i believe) then shipped to Canada, then I could only order (living in eastern Europe) from London shop selling them, then UK shop orders from Canada and then ships to us in Ukraine.

"Only" $175 (shoe + shipping) and __x__ tons of carbon later, we've got our Fairtrade "eco" shoes. Im sure Adbusters would agree with us in asking "WTF?!?!?!?!?".

So?
