So the producer of the pollution gets off scot free? Or are you going to count the pollution twice?

I would rather count pollution twice than zero, but in the example of abusive labor, we definitively do count it twice. Companies should be called out if they buy products produced by forced labor camps, child labor, and conflict diamonds, and sweatshops. At the same time, the companies that actually do the forced labor or employ people under abusive conditions are very much also guilty.
