I think, well I know people that don't know or if they do they try not to think about it. I do and I can't help it and get depressed. They advice me not to think about it. But I can't be like that. I just still have to figure out how to help the world even if a little bit
That's not true. It is hard to avoid, but we vote with our money. Start small with fair trade coffee and chocolate. Never think that you are powerless.
That's not really what I meant. You can buy cruelty free and fair trade products, but the interconnectedness of commerce means that something involved in that transaction was produced by somebody working in terrible conditions. Whether it's the palate the product arrived on, the cash register, the building itself...something was made by somebody in a sweatshop.

I'm going to Cambodia very soon! I'll hopefully be helping people like this, building them houses and teaching in an orphanage. We're all very very privileged and we have to remember that and be grateful for it
Do factory conditions need to be improved? Yes. But the alternative to working in a factory is working in a field, and the alternative to that is starvation. It's economically and morally imprudent to view third world countries labor practices through a first world scope.
