One day, my family was having dinner with my family friends. I saw a 8 years old kid holding a box of chocolate. And I asked him a very random question, "where does it (i.e. the box of chocolate) come from?" And the kid said, "Park'n Shop".
The answer is correct indeed. But this answer has inspired me in some ways. Would there be one day that the new generations would think all their food are came from Park'n Shop and their toys are from Toys"R"us, and do not think deeper? I am wondering whether the new generations (in developed countries) would have a clear idea on what factory labour and farmers really are.
I did some window shopping a few days ago. I saw a pair of shoes which cost $30. I was like, "oh, my god! Is it really the REAL cost?" I really could not imagine that someone could produce a pair of shoes for less than $30. How much one could really earn?
If you find it hard to explain to your friends that every consumers in Hong Kong are actually global citizens in the sense that they are using resources of the GLOBE and affecting people WORLDWIDE and not just in China (people who have thought of China may be a good start), ask them to watch a video called "The Story of Stuff". And hopefully, they could get some inspirations.
