If you look behind me at the city, what do you see?Tall buildings, trees?
Now, look at the clothes I have on. What do you notice?They aren't very fancy right?I am wearing my everyday clothes.
Have you ever thought about what goes into the production of your simple everyday clothes?Where they come from?
Did you Know?you need 2,700 liters of water to make a T-shirt
Look at this man's outfit, he is wearing a plain white shirt and jeans. Lets focus on his shirt. How much water, cotton, and energy goes into making his shirt?
Lets look at this store for example.The man bought his t-shirt at this store, but it had to get to the store before he could buy it.
There were boats, trucks, and even vans involved in the transportation of the man's t-shirt. All of those create pollution.
Clothing items usually get shipped from cotton fields to factories, then they are made into fabrics.
Did you know?Clothes production takes up about 10% of the worlds pollution
Those fabrics get sown into t-shirts and shipped all over the world. Sadly the factories create pollution and that can be harmful to workers and the planet.
