Alright, how many know the way some places make jeans? Jeans are died in iodine and then washed. The new hip look of fade is created by washing those jeans and sometimes washing them with rocks. The dye washes off and is released into the environment along with the scrap or old fashion clothing. This is the case with most clothes manufacturing places in third world countries. The amount of pollution produced is rediculous. In addition there is no agency or enforcement to try to control the pollution. How do you guys feel that consumer's (especially youth) high demand in new fashion and styles are creating a problem in other parts of the world. This not only impacts the enviroment, tainting nearby rivers and destroying the ecosystem, but it also causes the issue of low pay. Employies get the dye into their hands and eyes. Did you ever stop and think where your clothing came from and how it impacted the environment and other people?
