Because children, women and the elderly are working 12-18 hour days in crowded basements/warehouses with little to no ventilation making the clothes and products that you buy and wear. Previous to being chemically dry cleaned before going to retail, your shirt was probably assembled by small dirty, sweaty, cracked and bleeding hands that were paid less than half a dollar for a full days worth of work. A couple of dollars a week is enough to keep living so that they can keep working, with no opportunities for education, change, or choice to leave this lifestyle. Everytime you buy ANYTHING- you are VOTING with your money! Make good choices for the people that share the world with you.
