The goal is to put pressure on manufacturers to clean up supply chains connected with controversially-mined materials that go into many of our every day technologies--computers, cell phones, etc. To the point and powerful, it's a lovely little example of the interconnection of global conflict and Canadian society, as well as our oft-neglected daily implication in these intricate conflicts. </p> <p>Healy and Weber were just selected today as one of three finalists in the competition! Congratulations, boys!</p> http://vancouver.mediacoop.ca/video/1762#comments Kevin Healy and Eric Weber Environment Ideas Peace/War We Are The Weapon Wed, 22 Jul 2009 21:01:36 +0000 AuroraDiana 1762 at http://vancouver.mediacoop.ca
