If American consumers and environmentalists demanded other countries adhere to the same strict standards and associated costs that are demanded from manufactures at home a lot of this would not happen.
We demand American manufactures meet very strict and expensive environmental standards here but don't give a fuck about what happens in other countries.
We demand minimum wages, benefits and safe working conditions here but don't give a shit about workers in other countries.
Our demand for artificially cheap products drives this abuse of workers and the earth.
In a very direct way we are responsible for the shitty conditions abroad … But that's ok ….. "look what I saved shopping at walmart"
