The world is lost over every choice we make. I've been wondering where the things we buy come from. How many things we buy have it's history in slavery(debt or not). The world is driven in saving money. This is good when it is used to make a system more efficient (yet there are many companies in the U.S. that are far from efficient), but there is nothing to stop the use of cheap labour or unethical ways of making money.
The dirty products are every one's fault. Do you buy the fair trade coffee? Do you buy honey instead of sugar? Would you buy the more expensive product if you knew it was made ethically? The companies obviously don't think so. This is why I say the world is lost over pennies, every person saves a few pennies and people die every day.
I'm no exception I still eat sugar, use tissue paper... the list goes on. The purpose of the blog is not to make you feel guilty but to make you aware of the problems and not blindly follow the cheaper product and if God grants us wisdom we might be even able to fix these problems.
