Section 1: Research

  2. Identify the process (and location) of the item's manufacture. Identify the component parts of the item and the place of each component's manufacture.
    1. The aim is to identify where your shirt/pencil/jewelry/playstation/computer/phone/etc was produced. How many details can you find? (Which factory? Which shift?)
    2. What other products are manufactured by these particular individuals or facilities?
  3. What are the source materials used to produce this item? How are those materials mined/gathered?
    1. Try to find where the material used in your particular object came from. Companies will often change distributors and suppliers (if you can identify the date of manufacture, this may help).
  4. Which distribution networks or processes are associated with the production and manufacture of your item?
  5. Identify the wages, living conditions, and working conditions of those associated with each aspect of your item's production. What are the economic and environmental impact(s) of these processes and producers associated with the chosen item.
