L'Oreal gets a Body Shop

"The language of business is not the language of the soul or the language of humanity. It's a language of indifference; it's a language of separation, of secrecy, of hierarchy."

"When we've got the biggest cosmetics company in the world saying 'Teach us about family farmers, teach us about women's co-operatives', then we are very happy."
-- Anita Roddick (nearly 2 weeks ago)
