I think the importance of doing actavist work is precisely because it allows you to give back and to consider yourself not as an individual who may have achieved whatever but to be part of an ongoing historical movement.

The collapse at a Bangladeshi factory last year shed light on the egregious conditions laborers who make clothing for companies like Gap, Wal-mart and H&M spend each day in. Levi Strauss & Co., the popular American jean maker, takes another approach to outsourcing its labor.

"We audit our plants and we work very closely with our partners to make sure they're meeting our standards," says Levi's CEO Chip Bergh. "And we've pulled business in the past where manufacturing sites weren't up to snuff."

The majority of Levi's clothes are made abroad after the company closed down its last two plants in 2004 (the company maintains a few contracts with U.S. based suppliers). Levi's says it tries to make sure its suppliers abroad abide by the same labor standards that are in the U.S.

"Going back 20-some odd years the company implemented what we call 'terms of engagement' and that was really focused on the safety practices and the manufacturing practices in the plants," says Bergh. "The next level of our terms of engagement is focused on our workers' well-being...most of the workers are women, many of them have children and they're not well educated so we're focused on making sure they have basic medical, and access to education for their children and things like that."

Bergh discovered that providing benefits and safety to workers comes at a cost to the company.

"There's about a 3-to-1 return for our investment," he notes.

Overall the effect of globalisation has greatly affected the environment throughout the world. Globalisation foundation is cheap labour, without cheap labour globalisation would be minor compared to what it is today. Well why cheap labour? Cheap labour is used to maximise profits which has great effect on the environment as cheap labour is only possible if there are no treatment plants as well cheap labour occurs where the tax rates are extremely low, which means the government has limited funds to control pollution. A big sector of the industry contributes to the use of cheap labour and harming the environment, this industry is the TCF industry (textile industry). . You may be thinking that big and popular companies such as Nike and Adidas do not use cheap labour and do not pollute the world, but this is incorrect. Two of the biggest sport companies in the world Nike and Adidas pollute just as much as other companies or if not more. Both Nike and Adidas are corporates for polluting 2 major rivers in China, the Yangtze (China’s longest river) and the Pearl river. Waste water which contains hazardous and toxic chemicals were released into these rivers. Some of the chemicals include of nonylphenols and perfluorinated chemicals which are used to make materials stain and stick resistant, these chemicals are banned in European countries due to their harm to the environment. These actions of these major companies had major effects on the environment, fish and marine life consumed this water which caused the rivers to be full of dead fish. The deadly waste water also killed the environment surrounding the rivers and many humans were affected as the Yangtze and Pearl rivers are the source of drinking water for 67 million people, which is 3 time the population of Australia! Both Nike and Adidas stated that they have made sure that this incident won’t occur again. Overall globalisation, in particular the textile industry destroy and kill the environment in many ways but this can be easily stopped if companies decided to make the eco decision and not destroy the environment that we live in.

NIKE SWEATSHOPS: Are Nike's workers paid a living wage?

# data[].attributes.body
There have been many complaints about these factories in poorer countries were the working conditions, wages and
many other reasons that need to be changed. Excessive hours without extra pay, low wages are many problems that workers face in poorer countries in clothing factories. This can lead to stress. If these factories were to be closed down the consequences are huge. The workers lose their job and do not have any income. This could force them to live in slums and have not enough food and lack of shelter. To get better working conditions and wages the most successful protests have been with large amounts of people and them working together. Also by saying what they want changed and helping each other out. These protests can lead to success and it has happened. They gathered in large numbers, had many reasons for why they should do the protest and so it worked because of this.

NGO stands for Non-Government Organisations. They are not-for-profit groups that work with everyone from the companies and their workers to governments and often other NGOs. They are to educate the workers, provide short to long term support for less-developed countries during natural disasters and empowering workers’ rights. They also work with governments to raise minimum wages and lower maximum hours a week in less-developed countries. They also encourage companies to promise for better worker conditions and for the companies to then enforce it.

As a factory worker in a sweat shop, with minimum wage it is hard to provide for me and my family. With long hours sometimes up to 16 hours a day for seven days it is hard to get a

good rest/sleep, there are also people falling asleep during the working hours because of the long hours. In the factories it is cramped, hot and the machines in the factory make it an unsafe working environment. It is also minimum wages so it’s hard to provide my family with education, shelter and food.

‘CEO: a chief executive officer, the highest-ranking person in a company or other institution, ultimately responsible for taking managerial decisions.’ Some of the many reasons that I decide which country to set up my factory in is that there is a cheap labour, with probably the least tax value and this would mean that I would probably set this up in a third world country because all of these examples will come in handy because third world countries would do anything for a job and a little bit of cash. By me setting up a factory in a less developed country it means that it will Provide a better economy, Provide jobs, prevent poverty, provide housing and creates opportunity for people to work in clean areas. For all jobs there has to be benefits for the workers. My benefits will be to provide them with beds and food, I will also provide a 24 hour nurse on sight in case you get injured.
