A Global Tour to the Countries, Factories, and People That Make Our Clothes
Paperback

The clothes you are wearing, those jeans, sneakers, and underpants—what is their global impact, and how did buying them affect people's lives?
Meeting factory managers and public relations flacks, but also garment workers and their families, a young American journalist travels from Honduras to Bangladesh to Cambodia to China, connecting the labels on his jeans and boxers to the people who make them. A visit to a fair-trade Ethiopian shoe factory, final discussion questions, and a note from adult Kelsey to his high school self prompt deeper consideration of what it means to be an engaged consumer.
