		<description>dude, these are awesome.  I wish organizations like these were better able to get their message out.  I suspect a lot more people would channel investment dollars their way.</description>

		<description>Another good option:

http://www.equalexchange.com/csm/

From the Website:
"A great investment: Here’s why!

The Equal Exchanger CD offers you a competitive rate of return – currently an APY of 4.7%. The CD term is 3 years; the minimum investment is $1000. You could buy a conventional CD and have your money help finance a strip mall in Chicago or condos in Miami. Or you could buy an Equal Exchange CD and help finance small family farmers like Eusebio Laron Torres from the CACVRA Cooperative in Peru. It’s nice to have a choice."</description>

How is this possible?
