Based on a survey about your lifestyle, http://slaveryfootprint.org/survey/ will tell you how many forced laborers are likely to have produced the items you use - and with incongruously snazzy graphics, no less. The survey has taken a horribly depressing topic and attempted to turn it into a rallying cry for change; as the website says:
It's a supply chain that currently enslaves more people than at any other time in human history...We'd like to help you understand your influence on slavery. Not so you can feel bad. Not so you can stop buying stuff...so you will ask the brands you like to find out where their supplies are coming from.
Helpfully, at the end of the survey a list of contact details is provided so that you can press companies on their labor practices.
Effort involved: taking the survey only takes a few minutes. That's a few minutes more than most people spend thinking about their indirect exploitation of laborers. But as indicated above, this isn't just an exercise in futile hand-wringing.
