It is great that socially responsible products have market appeal. Whether it's fair trade coffee or a RED iPod, the bottom line is that more and more people are becoming aware of social issues around the world and are willing to pay for products that attempt to solve them. I agree that there should be more transparency about how much of the purchase goes towards the charity and what those funds are seeking to accomplish. The socially responsible business model is definitely not broken. It just needs to be refined... I have mixed feelings about this as well.
