Did You Know....

The rose industry (yes, the rose industry, as in FLOWERS) can be compared to the diamond industry? Yes. The blood diamond industry.

There are sweat shops in Colombia filled with people, mostly women, making around $7/hour working 17 hour shifts around chemicals that cause health problems like heart disease and paralysis. For a woman even to be considered for a job there, they have to have their tubes tied.

Sit on that.
