pants to poverty

Melbournians shout, "Pants To Poverty!"

At lunchtime on Wednesday may 12th the event 'Pants Off' made fair trade underwareness. A group of fair trade conscious people met (helped by triple j shout out on the radio!) at RMIT Kaleide Theatre, stripped down to their 'Pants To Poverty' label underwear, braved the cold and strutted down with a cheeky grin to the state library proudly shouting along the way “Pants To Poverty!” The event was organised together by non-profit organisation RMIT fair trade collective and Pants To Poverty Australia to bring attention and awareness to the concept of fair trade as part of the 'Big Swap – Fair trade Fortnight' trying to encourage people to change to fair trade products.
