...real accomplishment, Dickinson will tell you, is what has happened in the 15 developing nations where Equal Exchange buys from indigenous farmer cooperatives. In Oaxaca, Mexico, residents ride a fleet of cooperative-funded buses on routes that take hours to walk. In La Libertad, El Salvador, children who used to walk past an empty school building now study inside with a teacher who is paid by the cooperative. In Chajul, Guatemala, a cooperative-funded health clinic is helping reduce child mortality. And in remote corners of Peru, growing numbers of children of uneducated farmers are leaving to pursue university degrees...

Here, guests will learn to become mahouts and be able to ride their behemoths through the surrounding jungle. As you would expect, the cost of this rainforest fantasy is just as hefty. Rates start from...
...business-class, 102-seat cabin in Boeing 767-200s ($780 each way). "We want to bring affordable business travel to a wider segment of the market," says MAXjet CEO Gary Rogliano. Eos is better positioned to be profitable, says Michael Mankins, a consultant with Marakon Associates. Reason: its fleet of retrofitted workhorse Boeing 757s. "The use of this plane is quite clever," says Mankins. "It's an aircraft with a low lease rate. For every seat that Eos sells, MAXjet will need to sell...
