We hear a lot about bad working conditions and environmental problems in factories for many items, like clothes and electronics. Is it wrong to buy things from companies that have these problems?
It depends on many factors, including whether or not you need the product and whether or not you are able to obtain the product elsewhere for a comparable price. Basically, you must make the best decision you can, given your knowledge of the situation, your desire to act humanely, and your ability to affect change.
