"According to the documentary released in 2015, The True Cost, the world consumes around 80 billion new pieces of clothing every year, 400% more than the consumption twenty years ago." earth.org
How many textiles do you purchase a year? How many of those textiles did you discard after less than five years? How about less than three, or one? It’s an obvious problem this much clothing is even produced- but why do the consumers continue to demand more?

Little by little the process of sustainable habits becomes second nature, and the feeling of irresistible need for a cheaply made $4.99 tee with a stamped smiley face will wash away when you realize the true impacts of that little top.
