One of my favorite compliments to Good Point Recycling came from a job counseling service. We had managed to take on several trainees with long-term unemployment issues. It has not worked out in every case, but our record was much better than anyone else in the county. Glenda said we were unique in our ability to imagine people at work, to find a job that the person was able to do... "Good Point has an ability to see people for what they CAN do, not only for what they CANNOT do. That's rare."
This applies to Las Chicas Bravas, our women's coop ewaste "maquiladora" partner in Mexico. It applies to our trading partners in Africa, Latin America, Mid-east, and Asia.
I need to remind myself not to close my eyes to the Watchdogs ability. I had a eureka moment, a leap of faith which said that the California Compromise could be a way we could work together, using California CRT refuribishing to demonstrate to everyone how talented and environmentally sound the Geeks of Color can be when dealt with in a Fair Trade manner.
