How many slaves work for you?
On the anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, September 22, the website and mobile app Slavery Footprint was launched in 2011. Take the survey and find out about how many people may be involved in supporting your life style. Who dug the minerals in your smartphone or picked the cotton for your T-shirts? Where did the chocolate or cinnamon come from? Go to this link and take the survey http://slaveryfootprint.org/
As we know more, we can be a part of the “Made in a Free World” network. Tim Minahan has said, "In our advanced modern age, it is unacceptable that forced labor exists in our supply chains. Businesses have the ability to eradicate modern slavery by making more informed and ethical sourcing decisions. And networks like Made In A Free World can deliver the transparency and intelligence to empower global companies to achieve this worthy goal." http://madeinafreeworld.com/business
