*Stop and find out what you are buying before making purchases*
About 90% of clothing sold in the Unites States is made with cotton or polyester
These materials take years to biodegrade since synthetic materials are a type of plastic made from petroleum
The dyes used in the clothing also have hazardous risks since some of the dyes end up in local water systems which in turn release heavy toxins into our waters.
Companies produce big amounts of clothing in very short amounts of time to meet consumer demand.
In america alone, ~ 80 pounds per American per year of clothing are thrown away.
