What Are You Wearing?

Ask yourself: What Am I Wearing?

We're not talking about brand, style, or color - 

We're talking Textiles.

Chances are, you're wearing plastic. 

Yes, Plastic. The same type used in most single-use water bottles and food containers.

The production of synthetic textiles, such as polyester, acrylic, nylon and elastane, are go-to choices for fast fashion brands, eager to mass-produce clothing that will likely be worn less than 5 times.

70% of clothing is made using synthetic fibers, with 52% being polyester alone.

Now you're asking: why should I care?

The fast fashion industry and production of synthetic materials are a main contributor to:

• the ongoing climate crisis, 
• micro-plastic pollution,
• irresponsible natural resource usage,
• unfair wages and unhealthy worker conditions,

Should we go on..?

We will. But, we can't touch on everything at once. 

Making changes takes time, but it all starts with education.
