Rejected petition Regulate the Crystal Industry
The crystal industry is worth billions and yet has few regulations and little transparency. We need more regulations on the imports of crystals into the UK and more transparency in the supply chains to ensure that they are ethically sourced.
More details
In places such as Madagascar, people, often children, work long hours in unregulated mines and are at risk of lung complications, frequent injury and even death. Many consumers and sellers are unaware of this.
If we introduce more regulations and demand transparency from crystal importers, we can be sure that our crystals are ethically sourced. This will force more mines to introduce regulations if they want to import and sell crystals in the UK.
