Unfortunately, most people would not like to pay for many items, including clothing, that are made in countries that have strict laws concerning work regulations. Honestly, I think the only answer is to try to change people's minds about the importance of having a lot of "stuff" and at the same time to make them realize that people suffer so that we can buy this "stuff." Presentations like this one help make people understand that their purchasing decisions affect real people, and that is a good place to start.
