Water, water, clean water!

How many liters of water does it take to make a pair of jeans?...

It varies anywhere from 10,000 to 15,000 liters for a couple...

Or a T-shirt? 2,700 liters!

Perhaps the worst thing is not all the water that is wasted, but all the water that is destroyed and then sent into rivers in developing countries. So that we as consumers can get the cheapest garments possible (or that the brands can make as much money as possible).

40 years ago we ourselves had a large textile production in our oblong country and we were very good at releasing all the poisons here, which has destroyed some waterways. Today we manufacture almost nothing and the EU has regulated the emissions that those who manufacture textiles in Europe must comply with. Because we care about our nature, don't we?

But do we care about the nature of those who make our clothes in Bangladesh, Pakistan and Indonesia, etc.? Do we care that they should be able to be more concerned about their production so that they do not make direct emissions without treatment plants?

Of course we are, say most... But are you prepared to pay what it costs if you buy a garment that is sustainably made in a country in Europe?

How do you know what to choose if you don't buy second hand?

1. Choose clothes made in Europe

2. Choose organic clothes from the rest of the world

3. Choose fair-trade clothing. (Then the producer can at least live on his salary)
