How does consumerism impact on you?

The Government is conducting research into the impact of advertising and marketing on young people, it wants your views.  A good bit of active citizenship if you have a couple of minutes.

Two interesting articles…

In the Observer today, which you might want to spend a little time reading. The first is about the exploitation of Krill in Antarctica. The second is about food miles, the issue is somewhat more complex than people believe. Of course, Year 11 will understand this ;)

Mark Thomas on Coca-Cola

Political activist and journalist Mark Thomas travels to South America, India and the US to investigate the way in which Coca-Cola and its suppliers operate and the extent to which they upholds moral and ethical obligations

Coca-Cola is one of the most iconic brands of both the 20th and 21st centuries. Promoting itself as the drink of freedom, choice and US patriotism, the company’s feel-good factor is recognised worldwide and reflected in its enormous profits. But behind this carefully crafted image exists a company accused of environmental damage, human rights violations and questionable business practices.
