ça sonne bizarre pour moi qui ne connais pas bien le sujet;
mais il s'agit bien de boisson sucrée, et d'Ubuntu, cad dans le sens premier
du terme qui signifie "humanité", raison pour laquelle je vous le fais
suivre.

Meet Ubuntu, the world's first Fairtrade cola
Ubuntu is the first certified Fairtrade cola

Coca-Cola, get ready to let go of some of your addicts. Ubuntu, a new
Fairtrade soft drink, has just joined Whole Earth's organic cola as an
ethical alternative to the world's most famous soft drink brand. This
is great news for those of you who are less than impressed with
[42]Coca-Cola's green and ethical credentials, but -- like me -- must
bow to the fact that the sweet, refreshing stuff is one of your vices.
Ubuntu is the first certified Fairtrade cola -- it's made from
Fairtrade sugar from Malawi and Zambia. Besides paying the mandatory
Fairtrade Premium for the sugar, the [43]Ubuntu Trading Company has
also committed to return a share of its profits to the African sugar
farmers to help them develop their communities.
The word 'ubuntu' means 'humanity' or 'fellow feeling', translating
from South African languages to mean, "I am what I am because of who
we all are." That sentiment alone is a very good reason for giving the
drink a go. I haven't tasted it yet, but it counts Andy Cato of Groove
Armada as one of its fans, and if it's cool enough for him, it's cool
enough for me. I'll definitely pop into one of the cafes that stock it
to taste the goods next time I'm in the right neighbourhood -- check
out the stockists on [44]Ubuntu's website if you're thirsty for some
fair fizz, too.
If you don't live close to an establishment that's serving up the
stuff, no worries: from 12 June, you can buy it [45]online -- a 330ml
can goes for 79p, and a 24-pack is £15.09.
