1/21/08, Rainforest Alliance

The Rainforest Alliance emailed me several sites full of information, but they didn’t give our group very clear information on what actions to take. After reading through it, I asked several grocery stores if they had RA certified bananas. It was kind of frustrating cause most of the people there didn’t know what the Rainforest Alliance was. Unsure of where to go from there, I sent Maria Ghiso (who will be our main correspondent) the email seen in Ama’s journal entry. She hasn’t responded yet, but I’m sure she will soon. I now plan on writing a business letter to the grocery stores who didn’t have bananas with the RA seal encouraging them to use RA certified produce.
