  DON'T FORGET WHAT THINGS ARE WORTH
  October 16, 2008. Madrid (Spain)

    Eight seamstresses sat at their sewing machines spread out over the sidewalk on Fuencarral Street and embroidered the following phrase on T-shirts: "Don’t forget what things are worth". When a seamstress finished embroidering a T-shirt, she would give it to a passerby. The National Fair Trade Organization promoted the action. 

What is sustainable consumption? And what about fair trade? How much did you pay for that T-shirt you’re wearing? How much do you think it should cost? How much does a seamstress in Pakistan make to sew the T-shirt you’re wearing? How much would you charge to make one?


An mmmm. action for En Babia.
