About the event
The Problem
Many big brands divert our attention from their horrible deeds with incredible deals and convenience, but what do we sacrifice every day when we buy from these places? H&M and Zara 'greenwash' their brands or makes themselves seem sustainable when they do more harm than good for the environment (check out Hasan Minhaj's investigation into fast fashion here and John Oliver exposing some of the biggest fashion industry brands).
The Solutioin
It's up to us to build our consumer awareness. Your questions could inform the world of what popular brands are covering up. Are you up to the challenge?
The Method
Go through your closet and find out what brand you buy from most. You can also pick a non-clothing brand and check out the other brands you buy products from. Now you have a target.
