The seller is honest about this phone. Would you buy it?
Some social experiments really miss the point. Others are a direct hit. Like this experiment from Oslo in Norway.
Passers-by are approached by sellers with an honest story about a smartphone. The phone is incredible cheap. But it is not manufactured environmentally friendly. A fifteen-year-old have made the phone, working 12 hours a day for 1,80 USD an hour.
The question is obvious: Would you buy this smartphone? The answer is as predictable (with an underlying choice – what’s more important: environment or child labor?).
It’s a nice appeal to the human consumer responsibility. For the organisation behind it, environmental organization Framtiden i våre hender (Future in Our Hands), it is a call for signing a petition.
