"It's Too Expensive"

Thank you Google Images
"So, where is all that money you paid going?"

          During high school, I was very involved in the Justice Committee. From my freshman through senior year I played a role in the committee, from organizing and presenting Justice Day each year to helping out with the "Justice Board." Consequently, I have some knowledge about justice issues and people's views on them. One objective I have heard to buying fair trade and fair labor items is that they are more expensive than items that are not. This may be true, but would you rather spend a little more and know that that money is going directly to producers/workers/farmers, or pay less and have no idea where your money is going? I vote for the first. But for those who do not wish the spend the extra money for more independent, alternative brands and products, I propose trying to seek out companies that maybe do not use sweatshops as much as the others. H&M, the popular clothing store, does not use sweatshops and others, such as Target, are trying to reduce their sweatshop usage. The point is to avoid stores that are notorious for sweatshops. We need to make businesses aware from these stores so that they get the message that exploitation is not okay!!
