HODA KATEBI: THE REAL MONSTERS IN YOUR CLOSET

Share

So I guess our childhood fears were warranted, after all~
But unfortunately, the real thing is much more terrifying than anything my imagination could have constructed and placed in my closet...



A recent investigation launched by Greenpeace East Asia found that "hazardous chemicals have been found in children's clothes and shoes made by major brands including Disney, Burberry, and Adidas" that are not only being washed into waterways across the world and contaminating drinking water, but are also dangerous to the children wearing their clothing! Such "little monsters" hiding in the clothes in children's closets have the ability to enter our bloodstream and do anything from promoting tumor growth to altering hormones and mutating reproductive organs! Now that's something to really fear for!

Disney, American Apparel/Primark, GAP, and Addidas are already on the Boycott List (we're on top of our game! c; ) (also p.s. now that I so conveniently put the link here for you, so you might as well take a look!), but for this detoxing campaign specifically, there is more you can do that just boycotting these brands! Let's take active action to end their usage of these toxic chemicals in their children's clothing!
