5 Myths About Sustainable Fashion Debunked: What You Didn’t Know About Eco-Friendly Clothing

Sustainable fashion: we’ve all heard the term, but what does it really mean? With all the talk about eco-friendly fabrics, ethical production, and greenwashing, it’s easy to get confused. The reality is that there are a lot of myths floating around that might make you think sustainable fashion is out of your reach. But let’s set the record straight and dive into the 5 biggest myths about eco-friendly clothing.

Myth 1: “Sustainable Fashion is Too Expensive”

One of the most common myths is that sustainable fashion will completely break the bank. Sure, a lot of fast fashion items are cheap, but let’s be real – they don’t last. You’ll find yourself replacing those bargain bin buys faster than you can say "sale." Sustainable fashion focuses on quality, meaning fewer pieces but ones that stand the test of time. Think of it as investing in timeless items that won’t fall apart after a season. Plus, fewer purchases = more money saved in the long run. Who knew being eco-conscious could actually save you cash?

Myth 2: “Sustainable Fashion Isn’t Stylish”

Oh, the classic misconception – eco-friendly clothing is boring. Wrong! Just because an item is sustainable doesn’t mean it’s plain or out-of-date. In fact, sustainable fashion often includes cutting-edge design, modern cuts, and stunning details. Think sleek silhouettes, organic fabrics that feel luxe and unique designs that turn heads. Brands like Merci Dupre Clothiers are proving that sustainable fashion is just as chic as it is eco-friendly. So, if you think you have to compromise on style to be green, think again!

Myth 3: “Sustainable Clothing Doesn’t Last as Long”People often assume that eco-friendly fabrics are weaker or less durable. But let’s break it down: sustainable clothing tends to use higher-quality materials like organic cotton, hemp, and bamboo, which are naturally durable and long-lasting. Many sustainable clothing brands also focus on craftsmanship and thoughtful design, making sure their pieces are made to withstand the test of time. Fast fashion might be trendy, but it’s built to fall apart. Sustainable clothing? It’s made to last, giving you more wear per piece.

Myth 4: “Sustainable Clothing Is Only About Fabric Choices”

Here’s a big one: sustainable fashion isn’t just about the materials it’s made from. It’s about the bigger picture. Sure, using organic or recycled fabrics is a great start, but there’s so much more to sustainability. Ethical labor practices, reducing waste, non-toxic dyes, and designing for durability all play a huge role in what makes clothing sustainable. So next time you think about eco-friendly fashion, remember: it’s the whole lifecycle, from production to disposal, that matters.

Myth 5: “Sustainable Fashion Is Hard to Find”

With the rise of eco-friendly clothing brands, it’s easier than ever to shop sustainably. The myth that sustainable clothing is a rare find simply isn’t true anymore. In fact, many online stores now offer a wide range of stylish, eco-friendly options that make it easy to shop sustainably from the comfort of your own home. From classic staples to statement pieces, sustainable clothing has entered the mainstream, and it’s here to stay.

So, there you have it – the truth about sustainable fashion. It’s stylish, affordable in the long run, durable, and much more accessible than you might have thought. And it’s not just about the clothes; it’s about the choices you make to contribute to a more ethical, eco-friendly world. Ready to embrace sustainability in your wardrobe? It’s easier than you think – and it might just be the most fashionable choice you make!

The Effects of Fast Fashion on Ethics & The Environment

How does fast fashion impact our world?

Fast fashion might make trends affordable, but its impact on the planet and on workers is steep. Let’s take a closer look at what’s really happening behind the scenes.

Fast fashion gives us trendy, cheap clothing—but at what cost? Behind the low prices are underpaid workers, poor working conditions, and environmental destruction. By supporting fast fashion, we’re contributing to waste, pollution, and unethical labor practices. But the good news?

We can make a difference.

I give you a challenge, Try to reduce that number even by one if you can. Even just $20 can add up quickly each month.

SCRIPT

Now how do we avoid this? Fast fashion has become a global issue, fueling overconsumption and harming the environment. In A Conscious Shift, Christine Nzinga Blake and Yesha Callahan emphasize how our shopping habits drive unsustainable practices. But we can make a difference by changing how we purchase clothes. First, prioritize quality over quantity. Instead of buying multiple trendy pieces, invest in timeless, durable clothing that lasts longer and reduces waste. Second, embrace alternatives like clothing swaps or renting. These options let you refresh your wardrobe without buying new items, which is a simple way to reduce demand for fast fashion. Third, get creative with what you already have. Restyling or altering older clothes can give them new life while helping the planet and your wallet. As A Conscious Shift explains, even small changes in how we shop can have a big impact. Let’s take steps toward thoughtful, sustainable fashion choices that protect the planet for future generations.

CBS News provides an informative video on the environmental effect of fast fashion.

"Three-fifths of all garments end up in landfill within a year of being produced."

This statistic from Anastasia Denisova, a researcher and writer focused on fashion media, sustainability, and ethical consumption, on page 6, is a sobering reminder of the impact of fast fashion on the environment.

3 BRANDS AND THEIR ISSUES

H&M

H&M has made a goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions but this has gone nowhere.

Their business model is unsustainable and unethical.

The majority of materials used are unsustainable and not eco-friendly.

ZARA

Zara's shop network, which spans across over 96 countries, requires a lot of resources to build, transport, and operate.

They exploit workers, to pump out a ton of low cost clothing for little-to-no pay.

Zara's reliance on cheap clothing for large profit has caused the use of petroleum-based fabric such as polyester, that can harm the environment immensely when discarded in large amounts.

SHEIN

With such low prices comes a cost, horribly treated workers.

Having things such as microtrends causes people to purchase clothing and throw it out after one use.

The products are low-quality and contribute to carbon emissions.

ALTERNATIVES TO THESE BRANDS

Afends: XS-XL This brand has purchased acres of farmland to grow hemp plants.

337 BRAND: XS-L This brand makes clothing from low-impact materials.

CHNGE: 2XS-4XL This all-inclusive brand uses 100% organic material.

Honest Basics: XS-2XL This brand keeps prices low while having sustainable products built to last.

MUD Jeans: W25 L30-W33 L32 for women and W28 L34-W36 L34 for men. This brand offers a repair service for their jeans, and also uses organic and recycled cotton.

Yes And: XS-XL This brand uses non-toxic dyes and lower impact materials.

When you spend a little bit more on sustainable clothing from companies that treat their workers properly and pay them a livable wage you feel good, and you are contributing to a good cause while your clothes last longer as well.

While it’s true that fast fashion provides affordable clothing and creates jobs, we must ask: at what cost?

The exploitation of workers, including paying wages far below a living standard, cannot be justified by low prices.

Addressing these issues requires holding brands accountable and choosing alternatives that prioritize ethical treatment and fair pay for workers worldwide 

The fashion industry shows how important consumer habits have on the world around us. Every purchase shows the never-end cycle of fast fashion. As Lindsey Reid, a contributor to the University of Alabama at Birmingham's Human Rights Blog, notes, "Fast fashion thrives on overconsumption and a disregard for ethical responsibility," asking us to consider the consumer role in this cycle. Turning to secondhand fashion stores, supporting brands that are ethical, or even simply thinking about our choices on what we buy can make a lasting change for the planet and the people. While critics, including people who own these industries and some consumers argue that fast fashion is an affordable solution to those with low income, we must think about the hidden costs on the environment and the workers. While some may say that low-cost clothing is essential for many, Alexandra Wolff a sustainability advocate who writes about the fashion industry, notes in her article “Zara and Sustainability: The High Cost of Low Prices,” "Low prices come at a high cost, with workers in exploitative conditions and the planet paying the ultimate price.” Finding alternatives such as thrifting long lasting clothing is affordable and ethical. Sustainable fashion isn't out of reach, it's a path to a better future.

WHAT YOU SHOULD DO INSTEAD

Shop second-hand 

Support sustainable brands

Reduce your waste 

Is your mind blown?

Researchers tested the fire safety and strength of hemp blocks, a sustainable building material made from hemp, lime, and water.

The study, published in the Journal of Building Engineering, found that Hemp blocks don’t catch fire with open flames but instead smolder slowly, producing very little smoke. In fact, walls made of hemp blocks stayed structurally intact for 2 hours during fire tests.

In terms of heat tolerance, hemp blocks retained most all of their structural strength up to 200°C (392°F). At 300°C (572°F), they still showed controlled burning without collapsing. The study also suggests that plastering hemp block walls can further enhance their fire resistance, making them even more reliable for building projects.

In short, hemp blocks are not only safer in the event of a fire but are also a sustainable building option. The use of hemp, a fast-growing crop, helps reduce the environmental footprint of construction materials and the minimal smoke produced during fire scenarios makes hemp blocks a safer choice for both occupants and first responders.

That said, hemp blocks have a compressive strength of 1.0 MPa, making them suitable for non-load-bearing walls. This means they aren’t intended for primary structural support but are perfect for walls that don’t carry heavy loads.

Hemp does not need fungicides, herbicides, or pesticides. It has been used for building for thousands of years. Right now the museum of natural history in San Francisco uses in their storehouse for climate control (temperature and humidity) of artifacts that would be damaged otherwise. It draws carbon out the air becoming stronger as it ages instead of breaking down like standard building materials we use now. Hempcrete is made by mixing hemp hurd (the woody inner core of the male hemp plant), water, and a lime binder. That's it

. It's starting to be more widely used in England and Europe. Imagine buying locally grown hemp hurd to build a home that would never dry rot, no termites, no bugs or vermin in the walls, self insulating, hypoallergenic, soundproof, never needs painting or siding, and doesn't burn. Imagine what it could do for the economy. As it grows it restores the natural biome of soil, absorbs toxins rendering them inert, and it uses 75% less water. It's is used to restore land overrun by invasive species because of it's rapid growth. It chokes them out. 

Growing hemp was required for the shipping industry to make the sails, rigging, ropes, clothing, deck shoes. You're probably not old enough to know the term "canvas shoes" but the heavy fabric used was made from hemp because it was much more durable and resistant to salt water degradation and ultraviolet radiation. Sails made from cotton only lasted 2 years but hemp sails lasted for 5. Considering the sails etc were the most expensive part of the ship (well over half the cost of the ship) you can see why farmers were required to grow it. For the colonies to conduct trade they needed lots of hemp. You could pay your taxes with it for over 200 years.

Are you looking to shop more sustainably? One way is to buy clothing that has natural fibers. Plastics in clothing is one of the main contributors to microplastics. So what to look for?

Polyester, elastin, and poly-blends are all plastic based fibers. Similarly, if you buy wool avoid Angelina. That's just Easter grass mixed in to give shimmer.

More sustainable fabrics are: cotton, linen, wool, cashmere, leather, rayon and hemp. Bamboo is a more sustainable rayon than other types. Some leathers have a lot of toxic chemicals in the processing but leather lasts and you'll produce less waste overall.

Avoid vegan leather. Unless it's mushroom based, that's just plastic. Get cotton shoes like converse.

It may cost a little more, but it's worth it for yourself and the planet.

Eco friendly cosplay (Save the environment and your wallet)

Before I begin this post, I want to aknowledge that yes, changes made by individual people  won't do much to save the planet in the long run, and yes we should really hold those big corporations that singlehandedly cause 70% of emission accountable. However, that doesn't mean that we can just go around using products that harm the environment all willy-nilly, and we should do our best to keep our impact to a minimum. The same goes for us cosplayers. I know cosplay is a fun hobby. Some of us use it to escape reality, other to find gender euphoria in it, some people just like to act and this is their way of showing that talent.  But we can't deny that our hobby causes a lot of environmental stress, and we routinely use materials from highly environmentally damaging industries. Let's have a look Fabric we use is often synthetic. It's  made from petrochemicals. EVA foam and thermoplastics are oil byproducts as well. And after that intense, environment-damaging process, most of us only wear the cosplay a few times, before we move on to the next big thing.. How can we change things, while keeping the hobby fun and affordable?

 Shop in your own closet first. Many character actually just wear casual clothes that any random person can own. Check to see if you maybe already do. 

You don't? Oh well. I assume you got a family and/or friends. Check their closet! After that? Thrift thrift thrift! There are so many hidden gems in thriftstores. Altering clothes is also a great way to start your sewing journey. And even if you don't find the clothing item or prop you're looking for, maybe you'll find something else that's useful. Like a leather jacket that yo can use to make those leather accesoires! 

Don't make a new costume for every event. Make a handful that you love, aand wear those to the ground. It'll save you in money and materials, and you will also experience less stress, concrucnhing to try and finish your cosplay in time. I'm not saying you can never make a new cosplay, just do it less impulsively.

 See which parts of your cosplay you can recycle. Maybe you can modefy that one skirt, or paint over the gun you made? See if you can make it work for your next character.

Does everything NEED to be perfect? I know you want to be as accurate as possible. But do you have to reprint that 3D printed sword twice just because it was slightly off? Or do you need to recast that gem in resin 20 times just to get it perfect?  No you don't Do you NEED to make a mock-up dress? I know the materials are expensive, and you don't want to waste any, but what are you doing with the mock-up materials after? 

Continuing from #3, take a look at your fabrics. The entire textile industry is a mess. It's polluting, and often poorly regulated. And not just the synthethic  ones. Even natural fabrics can be bad.  Leather tanneries are awful, and cotton is one of the most chemically intensive crops in the world (still both better than synthetic counterparts) Try hemp, linen, or wool instead of cotton.

Find alternatives for your props. They don't have to be EVA foam and plastic. There are many substitutes. Cardboard, paper mache, recycled wood. Hell, even hotglue instead of resin. Or use things  you already own. Old water bottles can be a great base for sci-fi gubs for example. Be creative! 

Make things work for multiple costumes. An old example that I once used on my instagram: @pretzlcosplay took her Gnar dress and corset, made some new accesories, and poof!: a Cubone cosplay!

Don';t buy a wig for every new cosplay. Ok so this one is common sense I think, and I don't think anyone does this but I had to put it here anyway. That one black wig you own? It;s Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Kirito, Kageyama, Levi Ackerman,  Rin Okumura, and on you go. The same goes for most unnaturally colored wigs. Just look up a few youtube tutorials on wigstyling, and that one wig can be a hundred different characters.

 Buy secondhand cosplays. Loads of cosplayer sell their old cosplays, sometimes even including the wig. You can look on instagram, usually people have story highlights for things they're selling, but facebook is a great way to start too. They got loads of swap/sell groups for cosplayers. Sometimes there are even event son cosn where you can swap cosplays.

If you're a frequent crafter (whatever the reason) try to buy things in bulk. Not only will this reduce your cost over time and decrease packaging waste, but if you often order materials online, this will also reduce your environmental impact as you'll contribute to fewer emissions that come with shipping. 

 Buy samples Buying samples is a great way to know for certain whether the material is the right colour, has the right feel, the right texture, etc.  without having to do a full buy of the material. Same goes for wigs. Most wigsites have colour rings you can order, giving you a small sample of each available colour.

Keep your scraps Maybe you'll find use for them in a future project. Or maybe you can trade with friends. Save your scraps if you're a big DIYer

14. If you have the money, buy the eco friendly version. Technology has come a long way, and we have great substitues for most things. However, these are often more costly then the old (plastic) version. If you have the extra money to spare, please do buy the eco friendly alternative, like the eco friendly fillament for your 3D printer.

[acti-veg]

Hello, I wanted to ask you what you know about the ethics of buying wool second-hand. I live in a very cold area and for now I've been wearing clothes I owned pre-veganism 8 years ago and buying second hand synthetics (cotton and linen and things like that aren't wearable in extreme cold), but many synthetics don't feel good to wear and my old wool jumpers are getting very dilapidated. I've thought of buying wool from a second hand store, but I know second-hand leather still sometimes fuels the leather industry so I wanted to ask if you know if a similar effect is going on with second-hand wool. I would rather be sweaty in second-hand synthetics than support animal torture in any way, so I'd like to know the un-sugarcoated truth. Thank you very much, love the blog!

There are good thermal options that are synthetic, Sea Shephard for example often operate in the most extreme cold and they wear recycled plastics and hemp, though I’d need to know where you live to recommend specific stores and brands. Most professional thermal clothing in general is synthetic. Those do tend to be expensive though, but so is any good thermal wear, but they’re high quality and will last a long time.

Failing that, second hand is always more sustainable than any material bought new. There is the argument that buying and wearing animal fibres could sort of ‘advertise’ the use of those fabrics, and people seeing them used worn won’t won’t appreciate that they’re second hand, but in most cases I don’t think wool will be distinguishable from synthetics.

Just do what you can anon; if you can get synthetics second hand that is the best option, but if not then go for what is available to you.

A thing I pre-ordered months ago has shipped!

What's the thing?

Keepsake Quilting, and several other quilt companies/stores, put a sort of gift box together with fabric, notions, patterns, and gift cards in them. You don't know what you're getting, making it a surprise. I have never purchased one because they're expensive. This was 50% upfront, 50% when shipped, for a total of $150. Considering how much is in it, and what reviews were left the last several years, it's a steal. Plus, I wanna treat myself after having such a stressful and unpleasant year.

My mom and one of aunts have ordered such boxes in the past, but according to my mom, they're disappointing because she has so many of the things in the package, or no use for many of them. Rulers (some of which cost $30), needles, rotary cutters and extra blades (blades can be $10/each, new cutters up to $50), fabric marking tools (chalk pencils, disappearing ink, etc), precut fabric collections (jelly rolls can be $80, fat quarter collections up to $100 depending on number of FQs), and yardage ($12.99-$21.99/yard). She's been disappointed by "ugly" fabric too many times.

I, on the other hand, have significantly fewer tools. I make things for people to buy, and some folks love fabric I cannot stand (like x-mas and patriotic prints). There have been fabrics I consider well and truly hideous, and those I list in my shop or sell to people here. One person's trash is another's treasure, right? I've met people who think pastels are ugliest things to have ever existed. I think baby pink and green military camouflage look fantastic together, as well as turquoise and light hemp brown or terracotta and peacock blue. My mom finds them hideous. I think pink and any shade of brown look terrible together, or red and khaki (likely from working at Target and seeing is everywhere). Again, personal taste.

If any of you ever fancy treating me to one of these random collections of fabric and/or notions, feel free to do so. They're the sort of surprise I enjoy (that and people purchasing my work, especially from my shop). Sure, there are things that may he of no use to me, but others can use them. Nothing goes to waste.

This package will be arriving on November 18th, and has me giggling with excitement!

[endearmint-moved]

also, pro-tip for anyone still looking for summer clothes:

forgo the polyester, opt for rayon or viscose for fabric content. forgo the cotton, opt for linen or hemp.

while polyester is known for being moisture-wicking, it's outdone by rayon and viscose. rayon and viscose are made from bamboo, and both fabrics are common enough that you can even buy it in undergarments and hoisery

unlike cotton, hemp and linen are also moisture-wicking as well as breathable. cotton retains moisture almost too well (and i can vouch for that having suffered so many summers in denim shorts).

however, it seems like linen is more common in women's clothing than men's even when shopping secondhand (speaking as someone on Turtle Island). if online shopping isn't affordable nor feasible for you, at least try to go for lightweight cotton so you can get as much breathability as possible.

Reducing the Environmental Footprint of Denim: USA Manufacturers’ Efforts

Introduction

Denim is an American staple. It’s been around since the mid-1800s and has long been associated with American culture. But recently, denim manufacturers have been working to reduce their environmental footprint by reducing chemical use and increasing recycled fabric content. This shift has given rise to more environmentally friendly products — both domestically made and imported — as well as increased awareness among consumers about what they’re wearing on their bodies.

Environmental considerations are on the rise for apparel manufacturers in the USA

Environmental considerations are on the rise for apparel manufacturers in USA. One of the most common ways that denim jeans are manufactured is by using dyes, which can be toxic and harmful to workers when they come into contact with them. With this in mind, many companies have begun using less toxic dyes that allow for safer working conditions for employees.

Some brands have also made efforts towards reducing waste by using recycled materials in their products or creating more sustainable packaging methods.

USA apparel manufacturers are striving to create more environmentally friendly denim and denim products.

In addition to reducing the environmental footprint of denim manufacturing, Clothing manufacturers in USA are striving to create more environmentally friendly denim and denim products. They are working to reduce chemical use in the production process, reduce water usage and dyeing waste, eliminate toxic dyes, and increase recycled fabric content.

American manufacturers have made efforts to reduce water usage in dyeing processes, as well as dyeing waste.

In the denim industry, dyeing is a major part of the process. Most dyes are water-based and therefore require large amounts of water during the dyeing process. This can be quite expensive for companies that do not utilize efficient methods to reduce their use of this resource. Some companies have switched from using conventional dyes to more environmentally friendly ones; others have simply reduced their overall usage by making changes in their processes such as reducing agitation times or using less toxic chemicals during washing procedures.

Apparel manufacturing companies in the USA have also begun using less toxic dyes, which allow for safer working conditions for employees.

Apparel manufacturers in the USA have also begun using less toxic dyes, which allow for safer working conditions for employees. This is an important step in reducing the environmental footprint of denim, as well as ensuring that workers are not exposed to dangerous chemicals. There are many ways that we can all help reduce the environmental impact of denim. The first step is to be aware of how our clothing affects the planet. Once you know how much water, energy and chemicals it takes to make your favorite pair of jeans, you can make informed decisions about where and how they were made.

In addition to these efforts, some manufacturers have started using recycled materials or sustainable fabrics such as organic cotton and hemp in their production processes. If you want to buy jeans that are better for the environment, look for labels like “organic cotton” or “fair trade.” These terms indicate that the cotton used in your jeans was grown without pesticides and herbicides, which means less water was used in production.

Denim has a long history but there are ways to make it better for people and the earth.

Denim is a versatile fabric that can be used in both casual and dressy clothes. It’s been around for centuries, first made in France in the 19th century and worn by cowboys as they worked on cattle ranches across America. Today denim is considered one of the most popular clothing items in the world — but this popularity comes at an environmental cost: jeans require enormous amounts of water, chemicals, and energy during their production processes. In order to make one pair of jeans, it takes about 2,900 liters of water. This is equivalent to the amount of water six people drink in a day. Denim production also uses a lot of chemicals, including dyes and bleaches.

Over the past decade, there has been a shift toward higher-quality denim.

Over the past decade, there has been a shift toward higher-quality denim. The demand for higher-quality jeans has increased as consumers have become more educated about their purchases and are looking for items that are produced by sustainable clothing manufacturers. The trend toward higher-quality denim is apparent in recent research conducted by Cotton Incorporated which showed that “87% of consumers believe it’s important to know where their clothes come from.” Consumers are also more likely to be willing to pay more for a pair of jeans that is ethically sourced. The demand for higher-quality denim has increased as consumers have become more educated about their purchases and are looking for items that are ethically manufactured and sustainable.

In the United States, most denim is manufactured overseas.

In the United States, most denim is manufactured overseas. In fact, the majority of jeans are made in China and India — two countries with a long history of textile production that have a skilled workforce and an abundance of natural resources for producing textiles.

However, some brands have begun to manufacture their products closer to home again. In 2014 Levi Strauss & Co., which has been making blue jeans since 1853 when they invented them as workwear for miners in California’s Gold Rush era (their first customers), announced plans to open two new factories in San Antonio and 4 other cities across America by 2018 with the goal of bringing 10% of its domestic manufacturing back from overseas within five years.* The company cited rising labor costs abroad as one reason for this shift towards domestic production; another factor was increased demand for quality American-made goods among consumers who want more transparency about where their clothes come from.*

The U.S. market for denim milling, fabric dyeing, and finishing is estimated at $1 billion annually.

The U.S. market for denim milling, fabric dyeing, and finishing is estimated at $1 billion annually. The number of manufacturers in this industry has increased significantly since 2004, with most new entrants coming from Asia and Eastern Europe.

The global demand for cotton-based textiles is forecasted to grow at an average annual rate of 2 percent through 2020 (compared with 1 percent between 2005 and 2010). This growth will be driven primarily by emerging markets such as China and India where rising incomes are fueling increased demand for high-quality clothing items such as denim jeans.

Manufacturers are working to reduce their environmental footprint by reducing chemical use and increasing recycled fabric content.

The goal of reducing chemical use is to reduce the environmental footprint of denim manufacturing. This can be achieved by reducing water usage and dyeing waste, as well as increasing recycled fabric content.

· Reducing water usage: Water is an important resource, so it’s important to use it wisely in all steps of the production process — including washing and drying raw materials before they’re spun into yarns; dyeing fabrics; washing finished products; rinsing out excess dyes after dyeing; and cleaning equipment after each use.

· Increasing recycled fabric content: It takes less energy to recycle old clothes than it does to make new ones from scratch (and recycling also reduces landfill waste). Plus, it takes fewer chemicals when you start with pre-existing materials versus creating all new ones from scratch — which means less pollution overall!

While some US manufacturers have made strides in reducing their environmental footprint, there’s much more work to be done

While some US manufacturers have made strides in reducing their environmental footprint, there’s much more work to be done. Here are some things you can do to reduce your own environmental impact:

· Buy less denim, especially if it’s not made from organic cotton or recycled materials.

· Wear clothes longer before replacing them with new ones and donate unworn items to charity or second-hand shops instead of throwing them away (this also saves money!).

· Shop at local businesses that source locally-grown materials whenever possible; this helps support small businesses and keeps money circulating within the community instead of being shipped overseas — and often results in higher quality items as well!

Conclusion

Denim is a durable and versatile fabric that has been around for centuries. The fact that it’s still popular today shows just how well it works for clothing and other items like purses and jeans jackets. However, there are some problems associated with this material — namely, how much water it takes to make denim from start to finish. This infographic explores what manufacturers can do to reduce their environmental footprint while continuing production in the United States.
