Check out Free2Work, an app that allows you to see if the products you buy or the companies you invest in are linked to labor abuses.
"Free2Work is a strategic tool to increase transparency in supply chains, empower consumers to make informed decisions, as well as mediate communications between consumers and companies."
Challenge: Use the Free2Work app for a few weeks and then tell a friend the story behind the products you bought. Is your new shirt the product of child labor? Is your chocolate sourced from West African cocoa fields where workers live in poverty and child labor is common? Why should it matter? Does it?
As an entrepreneur, is it ever o.k. to create a company where you profit at the expense of your workers' future, health, sense of self-determination? Is it ever o.k. to create a company where future generations are compromised? Whose responsibility is it to monitor businesses and ensure they are socially responsible?
