The question that comes to mind is, who is ignorant? The government, the corporations or the people working in dire circumstances to produce all the stuff?
Nobody would work in factories producing toxins and carcinogens if they had any choice. So why are people there? I can only assume that they either
1.have no choice as there are not other jobs available to them,
2.they do not have the qualifications to apply for other jobs that may be available or
3. they do not realise that they are working in a toxic environment.
With regards to the last possibility, it could well be that employers do not WANT their employees to know the risks they are taking. How many of the employers actually spend considerable time 'on the line' themselves?
So education would be the way to go - let the people KNOW what they are handling and breathing at work, THEN and only THEN can they make an informed choice. Then also, they will be much more inclined to join together to make changes to their own destiny.

I agree Erna. Education is practising good ethics to enable people to make informed choices
