Can There Ever Be FairTrade Copper NewlyLaunched Website the trip flare...

In an article published today, newly-launched website www.thetripflare.org asks: Can there ever be fair trade copper



the trip flare puts the question in the latest of a series of articles. Together, these form a complete 's8216;dossier's8217; on the case of the criminally convicted former Midwestern copper smelter, Chemetco. The dossier is entitled: 's8216;The Pipe to Nowhere: Chemetco's8217;s secret,'s8217; and contains original research.



's8216;I's8217;ve spent a number of years looking at the Chemetco case, and the more I's8217;ve looked, the more Chemetco seems to offer lessons of lasting global relevance,'s8217; said the dossier's8217;s author, Alistair Siddons.



the trip flare aims to bring the hidden details of the case to the attention of the widest public possible, 's8216;because Chemetco shows that even in one of the most regulated economies in the world, corporate criminal behaviour towards the environment can take a very long time to defeat,'s8217; says the trip flare.



's8216;Can there ever be fair trade copper's8217; is a good question to ask now, argues Siddons, 's8216;because a lot of copper production is shifting from environmentally regulated economies to those that are less so. In the United States, we's8217;ve seen what can happen even with swingeing enforcement powers in place, so it doesn's8217;t take much imagination to see what is likely to happen when nobody is looking at all.'s8217;



the trip flare is a not-for-profit website and carries articles and comment on environmental and global issues.
