Actually, I tend to agree with most of your comment. However; the initiatives you speak of are some way from receiving a committment from the governments involved, let alone actually comming to fruition. Meanwhile, a child's income might actually mean the difference between food on the table and an empty stomach. So perhaps for now, while these initiatives are being argued over, why not enable the child to work in a safer environment, for less hours and for a better wage?http://gapclanger.blog.co.uk/2007/10/31/title~3225042/#c5099572http://gapclanger.blog.co.uk/2007/10/31/title~3225042/#c5084130tag:gapclanger.blog.co.uk,2007-10-31:/2007/10/31/title~3225042/#c5084130Wed, 31 Oct 2007 20:00:19 +0100Hi rts. Thought the same re. destroying garments, seems people are hell-bent on revenge, deriving some sort of satisfaction from seeing another get less, losing out or suffering in some way for what has occurred, and beside the waste of the child's labour, it's wrong to waste the resources, the raw materials, energy and water, besides the pollution, that goes into producing this never-ending always changing world of throw-away fashion. The clothes should be distributed freely. However, not so sure with investing in the child labour thing. Help the Aged are trying to encourage governments to give the elderly in third world countries pensions so they can be independent of their families. I would much prefer this, and if the young are allowed education, the long-term benefits for the countries concerned and everyone would be worth working towards, could even provide a preferable option to weilding a gun for some.http://gapclanger.blog.co.uk/2007/10/31/title~3225042/#c5084130
