This document discusses how clothing consumption is similar to food consumption in that daily choices are made under social pressure. It argues that just as people have learned to ask questions about the origins and production practices of food, the same questions should be asked about textiles. Synthetic fabrics like polyester are inexpensive but release microbeads during washing and are not biodegradable, whereas natural fibers like organic cotton come from renewable resources but require large amounts of water for production. The document advocates ignoring social pressures to overconsume clothing and instead focusing on purchasing fewer, higher-quality items made from natural and responsibly produced materials to reduce textile waste.
