How many slaves work for you?

Instructions

It's not easy to be a socially responsible consumer. Even if you buy mostly local products and diligently keep track of corporate environmental footprints, you may still be leaving a trail of slaves in your wake.

After all, who do you think is digging up the minerals in your smartphone or picking the cotton for your T- shirts?

The Slavery Footprint website can tell you approximately how many slaves have pitched in to make the goods you enjoy on a daily basis.

I'd like you to calculate your footprint and in a paragraph, tell me your "score". Are you surprised at what you found? Can you tell which types of products you consume impacted your score the most?

Do you know the size of the footprint you leave behind? Choose any of the calculators you like (popular ones are below). Once you make your calculation, write a paragraph reflecting on what you learned.(calsculators site attached below)
