message bundle handed over in Washington

What did Time to Turn do?

Time to Turn asked people to write a postcard with a personal message to the cellphone industry. They collected those cards and offered them - as a text message bundle - to representatives of the phone & electronics industry, that met in Washington on November 19th, 2008.

Also the organisation discussed the issue in youth groups, student organisations, festivals and churches. We wrote a "bible study about cellphones" and they talked about the connection between injustice and our luxury items. They stimulated young people to think twice before they buy a new phone again.

Time to Turn also helped young people to get on the street. They organised several "freeze actions".

And they created a sticker for your mobile phone or laptop:
