Unit - 7 21st Century Citizens ((top))

Unit 7 argues that you cannot be a "good citizen" of your town if you ignore the supply chain that clothes and feeds you. The cotton in your shirt may have been picked by a child in Uzbekistan. The cobalt in your smartphone battery may have been mined by a laborer in the Congo under duress.
