29 June 2009

 

Things are changing around here… so, before we tune out for the summer we want to say thanks to you, our listeners… and we don't want to hurt the earth – or your pocket-book – doing it.

 

So we'll start by taking you shopping in Amsterdam, former diamond capitol… for ethical diamonds.

 

Then, with your nice new rock in hand (or on hand), we’ll take you out to dinner in a greenhouse… one of the best local organic restaurants in Amsterdam.

 

After having your fill of fine food, we’ll take you out for some live music from our recurring favourite Dutch musician Lucky Fonz III.

If any diamonds anywhere are truly of an ethical nature, they must be like Canadian produced examples with a micrscopic design inscibed on them (in the Canadian case a polar bear). Dutch diamonds proven to be ethical can bear the emblem of the royal crown of Oranje-Nassau. Should the monarchy collect a royalty on this diamond emblem, the revenue can be put towards supporting worthy charitable causes, making the diamonds in question more than ethical.
