There’s an incredible separation between the stuff we consume— like food or
products— and the people who are making that stuff for us. Certainly in the
States we walk through stores and everything is plastic wrapped— none of us
can imagine that all the pieces came from an animal let alone the work
environment that people who created the product for us had to endure. Our
products are created for us in the same way— we have no idea how they’re
made or how it’s affecting other people’s lives on the other side of that
chain. 

The reality is there’s huge industries obsessed with obfuscating the scary
truth because when you strip it back, people are having incredible
life-threatening situations and we have no idea. The reason we have no idea
is because there’s effort made to constantly pivot or rename bad things so
that we think the products that we’re buying are “green” or otherwise
humanely created.
