Growing the cotton for one cotton t-shirt uses enough water to keep a person alive for over two years. Cotton production also uses more pesticides than any other crop.
How you can help: CHOOSE BAMBOO! Find clothing made from other materials like bamboo, hemp, or recycled plastic. Keep the clothing you have for as long as you can. “Up-cycle” them for a new look once you get bored of something. After that, find another use for it. Old clothing can be cut to make bags, belts, dishrags, headbands, or toys for your pets. (look on YouTube or Pinterest for inspiration)
