Who would have thought that the history of cleanliness is so messy? Our obsession with dirt has the potential to make us sick.
In the 17th century the thought of a daily shower filled a Frenchman with fear. Wouldn’t it practically be asking to get sick by splashing away, opening our pores and leaving the body so vulnerable and inviting all these diseases? Well, the filthy, stinking truth is that today, the Frenchman would have been disgusted with our daily bathing habits.
Cleanliness has changed a lot in the West and considering our relative lack of physical efforts which I compare here with our ancestors, from public baths to today’s obsession with hand sanitizers down to teeth whitening strips, why do we really consider our daily shower an ideal anyway? Haven’t you heard before ‘the less we sweat, the more we clean’?
What do you think – Is cleanliness a matter of Appearance or Hygiene?
When you buy flowers, do you actually ever think about where they come from?
Flowers have a ‘dark’ history. £ 2.2.billion are spend on flowers each year. An abundance of high quality, cheap flowers that are found in our supermarkets are mainly grown in East Africa by female workers. They are pressurised to meet the UK’s demand. Forced to overtime, sexual harassment and low pay.
The below animated film takes a looks at where the flowers are grown and where they come from. The film also shows the effects the industry is having on the environment as well as the workers.
Workers are often exposed to highly toxic pesticides and chemicals to increase productivity.
Did you know that exposure to pesticides causes seizures, blindness and leukaemia? – AND it also destroys the female reproductive system. Not only does the use of pesticides has devastating effects on the environment and the local ecosystem, the livelihood of local people is also further damaged by the overuse of water by flower farms.
Did you know that a flower is 90% water?
In effect, the flower industry is transporting water from the driest region in the world to one of the wettest regions in the world.
When did you last buy flowers?
The film is written and Directed by Paul Heard and Rebecca Swain.
