Prepare yourself for at least eight versions of your CV and put in at least 16 hours of work, two hours for each of the versions (or an hour a day for 16 days).

Land use is highly regulated and forest clearance is virtually prohibited in most of the region, particularly in Western Europe. Combating climate change is the most important environmental concern.

The EU approach to company law harmonisation has focused on the protection of members and third parties.

The Co-operative Bank discovered that organic food sales in this country have doubled since 2000 and are now growing at an average of 25% per year2. By 2010 the organic market will be worth at least £2billion3. Think back only a decade or so and imagine trying to buy ‘organic’ in a high street supermarket.

As I have mentioned before, the general view on this issue is that men had taken over weaving during the Middle Ages from women, who were left with the less skilled and more poorly rewarded spinning. Furthermore, women could easily combine spinning with conducting a household and raising children

In the case of Vietnam this view reflected a long-ingrained communitarian ethic: one sacrifices not for one’s self or even one’s family or gender, but for the community or the nation as a whole.
