Great Bargain, But Whats the Cost. Afterthought.

If we do boycott imported furniture, we ease our conscience by doing our bit to save the planet, three cheers for us; but what about those who make the furniture. I know there is a lot of money being made by importers and retailers out of this furniture and I probably am not going to loose much sleep worrying about this, they will find another avenue of trade. However, the people who actually do the making, what about them, perhaps this is their only source of income, all that they and their familys rely on. Our well meaning actions could cause severe hardship even starvation. Your thoughts on this please.
