Disrupt Black Friday - Protest Projection in Hamburg
On the eve of Black Friday, Greenpeace protests against overconsumption and its consequences to our environment. On Hamburg's vibrant shopping mile Mönckebergstraße, the animation "Black Friday - A Black Day For The Environment" is projected onto an oversized shopping bag. A lot of stuff is sold on Black Friday and Cyber Monday especially cheap electronics and fast fashion. Those articles are produced with a vast amount of resources causing severe damage to the environment. Greenpeace-Detox studies revealed that e.g. textile factories such as in China, Bangladesh and India are the cause for large scale river pollutions. Since the year 2000, the fashion industry more than doubled their production while the duration of wearing articles halved. "Most people know they have more clothes than they can stuff in their wardrobe", says Greenpeace consumer expert Viola Wohlgemuth. "Those extreme bargain days fuel the consumerism of fast fashion and electronics even more. So Black Friday turns into a black day for our environment."
As a creative alternative, Greenpeace and partner organizations host the MAKE SMTHNG Week starting on 24th November 2018

Greenpeace-Protest vor “Black Friday” in Hamburger Einkaufsmeile
Hamburg, 22.11.2018 – Über die Umweltfolgen des Massenkonsums werden am Vorabend des „Black Friday“ Greenpeace-Aktivistinnen und Aktivisten in der Hamburger Mönckebergstraße informieren. Auf eine fünf Meter hohe Einkaufstüte projizieren sie die Greenpeace-Animation „Black Friday – Ein schwarzer Tag für die Umwelt“. An „Black Friday“ und „Cyber Monday“ gehen vor allem günstige Elektronik und Mode-Artikel über die Ladentheke – Waren, die mit hohem Ressourceneinsatz und häufig mit Umweltschäden gefertigt werden. Untersuchungen der Greenpeace-Kampagne „Detox“ belegen, dass beispielsweise Textil-Fabriken in China, Bangladesch und Indien Flüsse und Trinkwasser vergiften. Dabei steigt der Konsum von Textilien stetig an: Die weltweite Bekleidungsproduktion hat sich seit dem Jahr 2000 mehr als verdoppelt, die Tragezeit von Textilien jedoch halbiert „Die meisten Menschen wissen, dass sie bereits mehr Sachen haben, als in ihre Kleiderschränke und Regale passen“, sagt Viola Wohlgemuth, Konsum-Expertin von Greenpeace. „Schnäppchentage heizen jedoch den Konsum von Billigmode und Elektronik weiter an. So wird der Black Friday zu einem schwarzen Tag für die Umwelt.“ Als kreative Alternative zum Schnäppchenshoppen starten Greenpeace und Partner-Organisationen ab Samstag, 24. November 2018, die MAKE SMTHNG Week.
