Day 60: Don't Buy Products Produced by Exploited Workers
Whenever I used to go shopping with my parents, I'd see an article of clothing I liked and almost immediately, my dad would check to see where it was made. I know this was a combination of his interest in geography and his feelings that we shouldn't be supporting the economies of countries that don't support us (as Americans or as Jews).
My dad's tag checking could also be a way of monitoring ourselves and our purchases by making sure we don't support economies that exploit workers in various industries. Just as we should not buy goods that have been stolen, we should not by products that have been produced by exploited workers.
