Participants investigate the global supply chains behind everyday products — tracing materials, labor, and impacts across the world — and confront what their own consumption patterns connect them to, ending with what a more conscious choice would concretely be.

Hold with care
  • Consumption findings invite guilt spirals — steer toward agency and system view, not personal shame (same failure mode BiNKA's toolkit designs against)
