The Shirt On Your Back


Recommended Posts

There's a few posts on the BRALT today re. a t-shirt apparently being currently sold by Burtons.

Coincidentally, there is a piece in today's Guardian on shirt manufacture in Bangladesh.

Good stuff thanks. The times did a similar piece on China a few years back. It's not just garments of course, the manufacture of your Iphone etc is not done by magic pixies.

The root of all the problems is over-population. There is a direct link between family size and poverty. China tackled it and they're on the way up. If the people themselves don't practise birth control maybe the Governments should take action as China did, maybe with a bit of a heavy hand but I believe they're easing it a bit now that it's under control. You might end up paying more for your Primark tee-shirt but the world would be a happier, healthier and safer place.
