In my view, the correct answer would be “a photo of a landfill full of clothing and a graph showing statistics on how much clothing gets thrown away”.
Indeed, most people do not react to abstract figures, numbers and/or charts. They need to actively be able to visualize the environmental consequences of their consumer choices. When you put them in front of mere numbers
Denial will be very easy due to the conceptual nature of the stimulus. Visual stimuli accompanied by the said figures on the other hand denies such denial in so much that it adds a more concrete piece of evidence to support the empirical and scientific findings. Numbers mean nothing, that is why a Wall Street trader is willing to sacrifice billions of people’s lives in the search of profit but when the effects of such policies on humans and their environment is shown to him and the general public, not only is he forced to make a an ethical choice, such choice will be easily and visually understood by the larger public.
Teens in the West love to wear Nike shoes but would they like to continue wearing them if they can see not only the figures concerning child labor and environmental disaster but the pictures showing the children toiling 16 hours a day for a few cents of a dollar for tennis shoes that cost 100 dollars in the USA?

Child labor was commonly used in the first industrial revolution. The laborers, at that time, needed to work many hours nonstop. Even so, it was not enough, and these workers made their children work too so the family could sustain itself.
Of course, the abuses committed by those employers were stopped, and many laws were made to prevent them. One of these laws was the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
FLSA is a law that creates limits to child labor, it also forbids this type of work in some circumstances. Under sixteen years old, children have several restrictions to be allowed to work, and under eighteen years old they had fewer restrictions, but could not exercise what everything an adult could, for example, work in a hazardous environment. However, agricultural work was not included in the FLSA, <u>and a good lot of the children worked in this job which was not limited and child labor could inadvertently be used.</u>
Even with FLSA, child labor continues to exist illegally, and its horrors continue to prevent children from having a decent childhood. That is, the youth protection must leave the law papers and assure effectively the childhood safety.
<u>This protection is extremely important, and the rollback of child labor must be avoided when hazardous to their healthy growth – both body and mind.</u>
