Here's why garment factory workers in Bangladesh are striking: Take a woman working a 12-hour shift in a textile factory in Bangladesh. During her shift she sews more than 150-200 t-shirts for Zara, Levis, Walmart and H&M. Her pay for the entire day? Less than $5. H&M takes those shirts and sells them to European consumers for more than €20 each. That's over €4,000 in retail value. Generated by her hands. In a single day. H&M runs massive ad campaigns in Europe talking about "conscious" fashion and "sustainability." But there's nothing sustainable about a system that uses their workers up like a cheap commodity. This is why Bangladeshi workers are shutting down garment factories all over the country. They aren't just asking for a few extra cents. They are striking for the right to be treated like human beings. #H&M #Walmart #CheapFashion #Bangladesh

Hi Mastodon. We're a small eco resort at the quiet southern end of Saint Martin's Island, Bangladesh's only coral island, a short walk from Chera Dip. Wooden cottages on stilts, a few tents near the beach, solar panels on site and a lot of stars at night. We'll post island tips here: tides, ship tickets, the rules that protect the coral. Ask us anything about Saint Martin. https://elmarena.com/en/ #Introduction #SaintMartin #Bangladesh #EcoTourism #SlowTravel

#Satkhira #Bangladesh 75% of climate-displaced families in Bangladesh’s Satkhira slums food insecure, study shows The survey, conducted throughout last August, covered families displaced by cyclones, floods, and riverbank erosion who took shelter in the town’s slums https://asianews.network/75-of-climate-displaced-families-in-bangladeshs-satkhira-slums-food-insecure-study-shows/ #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

#Bangladesh Bangladesh could face mounting risks to its coast, freshwater resources and energy security as new climate research warns that some impacts of global warming are already irreversible and that the choices made today will determine the scale of future damage. The warning comes from the 10 New Insights in Climate Science 2026/2027, a synthesis of the latest climate research by Future Earth, The Earth League and the World Climate Research Programme https://observerbd.com/news/599533 #climate

#Satkhira #Bangladesh Nearly three in four families who lost their homes to climate disasters and now live in the slums of Satkhira town are severely food insecure, according to a new study. https://www.thedailystar.net/business/news/75-climate-displaced-families-satkhira-slums-food-insecure-study-4298796 #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

#women #Bangladesh These conditions are not accidental by-products of climate change; they are structured outcomes of an economic model that externalises both ecological and reproductive costs. The global economy continues to operate on the fiction that natural resources and care work are inexhaustible and, crucially, free https://www.newagebd.net/post/opinion/295209/articlelist/94/articlelist/142/articlelist/96/articlelist/112/new-age-business-magazine #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate
