Did you know?
Slavery still exists in many parts of the world and was most likely used in the production of the shirt you're wearing, the computer you're reading this on, and the cup of coffee you drank this morning.
How is that possible, you ask? Visit Slavery Footprint's awesome interactive website to find out the role of slavery in the production chains of the things that you buy and get an estimate of the number of slaves who are working for you based on your consumption habits (I was appalled to discover 32 are working for me!!!).
The aim of this organisation is not to make us feel bad, but rather to educate us about the realities of modern-day slavery and encourage us to hold companies accountable for where the materials in their products come from. If we don't care, why should they? Change starts with us!
