In the text, the author claims that readers can help end child labor by only buying chocolate that is approved by Fair Trade Certified and the Rainforest Alliance. Why do you think this can help end child labor? After learning about how child laborers are treated and paid, would you be willing to spend more money on fair trade chocolate? Why or why not?
By only buying chocolate that is approved by Fair Trade Certified and the Rainforest Alliance, readers can help end child labor by reducing the demand for chocolate produced with child labor. This will encourage companies to stop using child labor and instead use more ethical labor practices.
Yes, I would be willing to spend more money on fair trade chocolate. Knowing that the chocolate is produced ethically and that the workers are treated fairly and paid a living wage is important to me. I believe that it is important to support companies that are committed to ethical labor practices and that it is our responsibility to ensure that children are not exploited for labor.
