I actually voted for the first three options. I would pay more for products produced in an environmentally safe manner, under good working conditions and good wages here in the US because that very much benefits the people of my own country, except perhaps the very small investor class that has for long been getting to much of the pie anyway. My second choice would be a product produced under ethical conditions in another country, and to me that would include the same sorts of environmental and worker protections present in the US. I also selected option three “I would pay more, but 50% is outrageous” because labor costs, particularly those found in factories in countries such as China are no where near enough of the cost of production to justify 50% higher costs for dosing things ethically.
