Lets not forget the child slave labor involved too, Sharon driving her kid to school in a Tesla ought to think about that too.
It's true that issues such as child labor should be addressed, but we can't fail to address climate change because of it. Such issues are not uncommon and not exclusive to mining.
Do you Own any Nike products? The child labor stuff is overlooked by Many people!! It's crazy out there
Yes. It's tough. And we have to be careful about our responses. In one incident, pressure to address child labor resulted in a foreign manufacturer having to lay off a bunch of kids and it led to some very unsavory and sad results. Worse than making sneakers.
