The Ever-Growing List

This is a list of products which involve human rights or animal or environmental abuses. I plan to add to this list and edit it as I think of or come across further examples

CLOTHING
Clothing:
*Sweatshops
*”Fast Fashion”: Clothes sent to landfill after very little wear
*Sexual abuse/harassment of female workers
*Overdepletion of natural resources, petrochemicals
*Huge carbon footprint, emissions etc
Leather:
*Sweatshops,
*Tanneries: effluents, chemical pollution of waterways, workers afflicted with healthcare conditions due to constantly inhaling chemicals
Cotton:
*Use of pesticides,
*Huge water footprint

ELECTRONIC GADGETS:
*Environmental pollution
*Hazardous creation: heavy metals
*Hazardous disposal
*Sweatshops

ENERGY PRODUCTION
*Non-renewables: Emissions
*Wind-turbines: Many birds killed

FOOD:
Meat
Chicken:
*Factory farming of chickens, diseases caused by birds being held together in such tightly cramped conditions, unsanitary conditions
*Human rights abuses of workers
Fish/Seafood:
*Pollution,
*Depletion of consumed seafood species due to overfishing
*Depletion of non-consumed seafood species due to bycatch
*Widespread human rights abuses including murder
Meat (beef): 
*Widely known environmental damage, emissions;
*Deforestation of the Amazon and other places to turn land into grazing areas for livestock;
*Human rights abuses, animal abuses

Vegetable/Non-Meat:
Bananas:
*Labour Exploitation
Chocolate/Cocoa: 
*Child labour abuses
Fruit and veg: 
*Labour exploitation on European fruit farms,
*Sexual abuse of female workers
Palm oil:
*Deforestation of Indonesian forests, habitat loss for orangutans.  Actually, there are no orangutans in Africa, which is another big producer of palm oil.  However, I was recently corrected that no, African palm oil is not altogether “safe” as increasingly African forests are also being cleared for palm oil plantations.  While there might not be orangutans, there are clearly African species of ape and other animals which would also be affected by deforestation. All the same, I would say that currently African palm oil is safe-ish!  However, I estimate that that is sadly likely to change within the next 5 years, max. (That is, by 2026)
Tea:
*Human rights abuses on Tea plantations, child labour

INTANGIBLE PRODUCTS (Like Anime)
*Labour Exploitation

PLASTICS:
*Failure to biodegrade; pollution of oceans, widespread consumption of micro-plastics
