Thank you edeos!, a very good reminder for responsible consumption for a sustainable future. The Poor are the ones often paying the price for the rich to enjoy cheap products. Hope it touches the conscience of all global citizens!

A great little summary about why we still have a lot of work to do to promote fair wages and include costs to the envirnment through measures such as carbon taxes into prices for products.

Yes, that's true. I always were wondering about cheap labor and when the consumers in rich countries will take the responsibility toward them. Add to that the cost of damaging the environment in order to produce a low utility products just because we can do it at cheap cost !!!
