Mass Media Musings: Happy (late) International Plastic Bag Free Day!

abbeydufoe:

In light of my current project on plastic bags, I wanted to wish you all a late Plastic Bag-Free Day. Consumers should do this every day, but July 3rd was declared by the Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives as the day to pledge not to use plastic bags. This organization…

Can’t wait to see what abbeydufoe has in store for her project on plastic bags (recycling, sustainability, environment)!

Interview with Halima, 11 years old, who sews for Hanes.

Reblogged from: globallabourrights

This is absolutely heartbreaking. I could only watch 4 minutes of this before I had to press pause. Exploiting children to make money disgusts me.

Today, I’m going to check out the link above to Global Labour Rights to learn more about what I can do to help children like Halima. And I’m going to stop buying Hanes products.

An ongoing list of charities, etc. on tumblr

I hope that more charities will be joining tumblr’s ranks, so in an effort to raise awareness of different organizations and their missions, I’m creating a list of these groups & their tumblr presence!

That’s all I could find… I would love to see more charities flock to tumblr (charity: water, water.org, Three Avocados, Courtney’s House, One Day’s Wages, etc.). If you have any to add to the list, please comment below!

Keep questioning,
Sara

Edit 7/31 - I need to catalogue/better organize this list… hang tight!
