Want to go to school but who will give me food?

We are happy when we know the scrap is going to be recycled because of environment and economic aspect. But we never think about the labor who are working with the recycling process and what about their health and safety? What about their age and why they are doing this hard job rather going to school in this 10-12 years of age? Why we are worried for child labor only in the export oriented industry not anywhere else. The recycling job is more hazardous than the RMG sector. We are only worried about what buyers are asking but we need to truly responsible for the society and next generation.
