big companies always ask for cheap labour wages then world make comments about poor people in banglades india who is real responsible for this ?
Very shocking and still a very sharp view over the sad reality of desposable clothing… so it´s really important the difference we can make in consumption options!!!
I buy cotton instead of acryl/polyester bc it's better for the environment but i guess even that isn't good enough
This video made me do a school project in which I got a D… I hate all of you who made the video.

We need to increase the production of organic fabric bcoz it is very good for the manufacturer & also the users. This is the best way to save the earth & envirnment. Save life sav earth save enviirnment.
The major buyers of garments are responsible for poor working conditions in Bangladesh, yet almost nobody talks about it. Because of everyone's greed, thousands of people died in just once incident– Rana Plaza collapse.
