Fair trade palm branches, anyone?

It had crossed my mind, idly and at one of those times when you can't really do anything with it and then forgotten as a result, that we should ask a few questions about sourcing of palm branches. Well here's an article that tells us what we probably didn't want to know -there is an ethical problem with the sourcing of at least some palm branches used on palm Sunday in many churches. I must admit I will find it hard to ask God's blessing on the use of branches/leaves whose labour-history may be dodgy to say the least. I'm now trying to work out if there are ways to find fairly traded [either officially or unofficially] palm branches. Of course there is always the solution adopted and shared reccentlyl by a colleague working in Bradford [salute to John Hartley]: buy potted palms and grow your own. Of course you may need to check where they originally came from etc but as an ongoing solution it has some merit -you could even recycle your [fairly traded, of course] tea leaves to add to the vitatlity and growth of the palms. John [who also suggested the link] bought "Cordeline Australis (Torbay Palm) plants " ... just so you know.
