Hi,
Relating what Kris has mentioned, I also feel Jordie's Idea is quiet interesting. My thought....
I think the 'invisible' idea is quiet unique, and we could be working a lot around this thought and promoting (intervention) whats really going on behind the scene of people who really spend so many hours on a product but get the least amount of money as their wage, is that fair?
If we really go back behind the the scene, I am going to Bangladesh over Easter break. Bangladesh is mostly know for its's Garments industry, i could gather video of workers working for them and how they work what they do and in what condition. Those Products made in Bangladesh are brought here and sold at Stores like Primark, Topshop, H&M and many more.
Here are few links to whats going on...

The intervention could be us standing right outside the store with a banner full of facts and real figures disclosing to public and asking them to 'just give it a thought'.
Why it matters to me, because i come form that country and it needs help.
Thank you! See you tomorrow at 1:00pm @ the library
Great stuff - see my comments in response to Cain and Anna's and Kris's entries. There's a lot of good material in here!
