Environmentalists — some in hazmat suits, some in tank tops — protested outside of Target at the Atlantic Terminal Mall on May 24, decrying the discount chain’s refusal to phase out the sale of some vinyl products, which are believed to release dangerous toxins into the environment.

The protestors, from Wetlands Activism Collection, a New York–based organization, pointed out that plenty of Target’s competitors, like Wal-Mart, Nike, Microsoft, Ikea, and H&M, have already begun phasing out the destructive products. Simultaneous protests were held in 200 locations throughout the country.
