You know that much loved t-shirt you’ve had since the early ’90s? It’s thin enough to see through, and now looks like Swiss cheese from all the holes. This is the kind of shirt you can’t donate, since after all…who would buy it?

So, I know I just wrote about how to have a fair trade Valentine’s Day. But the thing is if you’re single, or you and your partner are “on the outs”, you might not want to have a fair trade Valentine’s Day. In fact, you might not want to have any kind of Valentine’s Day [...]
