 A public service announcement brought to you by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Ad Council. When I found out my jeans were made using child labor and sweatshops, I wrote a letter to the company saying, reconsider your labor practices. A few months later, I get a letter back saying, thanks for being a loyal customer, and they included a coupon for a 25% discount on their jeans. So I got smart and wrote letters every day to all the stores that carry the brand, asking them to stop supporting the companies that use child labor and sweatshops.
