I will not make an argument against business tradition, about how advertisers deceive us and we believe the need to continue certain traditions to consume, etc, etc, etc ... My intention is simply that we are aware of what we buy: where it comes from and what does.
Canal solidarity wrote a post on Monday in which he denounced the source of most of the roses that millions of buy tomorrow Catalan Sant Jordi . Colombia, Ecuador and Kenya are the major producers and not just around the corner, plus the laborers' working conditions are precarious.
Following the article I asked them to give us alternatives, since it is unthinkable that the Catalans stop buying roses in Sant Jordi, so it is best to seek local roses. Well, after a few inquiries from Canalsolidario.org passed me the contact of a distributor of roses Catalan Safont Redondo, which in turn has taken the trouble in a week so hectic as this, give me the address of one of the shops they sell. This is the Rosa Rosae floristeríaa in Roger Lluria, 53, in the heart of Barcelona.
If zoom is not going well there, at least ask where is the rose you want to buy, and if not you can always make paper:)
