Slavery Footprint


This is my slavery footprint. It shows the number of slave workers that support my lifestyle. Based upon the details of my life, I have approximately 35 slaves indirectly serving me. These include both adults and adolescents from all over the world. Here are a couple details that the survey offers.

DETAILS ON LABOR GEOGRAPHY:
  • China - Coal mines, brick kilns and factories in the poorest regions of China operate illegally, using much of China's estimated 150 million internal migrants as slaves. Raw materials from slavery include: Acrylic, Cashmere, Coal, Cotton, Gold, Graphite, Leather, Limestone, Linen, Mercury, Nylon, Pearl, Quartz, Silicon, Silk, Silver, Tin, Tungsten, Wool, Pig Iron, Lead, Lithium, Polyester

  1. You raise a troubling question, Joshua. Is there any way to live in our society without participating in this systemic sin?

  2. Something worth checking out might be whether there is a register of companies that do business with slave employing manufacturers and organize the churches for boycot.
