Cotton may be a natural, vegetable product, it is also one of the most water-consuming crops in the world. Cotton has an enormous impact on the earth. The production of 1 pair of jeans requires 7,000 to 15,000 liters of water. This is as much as 40 years of drinking water for 1 person. Cotton is a thirsty crop. As a result, there is limited availability of good drinking water for the people.

In addition to blogging about the ups and downs of the sustainable clothing world, I would also like to introduce you to the best sustainable clothing brands (mostly Dutch). They put their heart and soul into making the world a better place, and they deserve that little bit of extra support and promotion on this blog website.

Fairtrade means fair trade or fair exchange. Fairtrade clothing, but mainly Fairtrade food, is produced fairly and responsibly. It is a term used for developing countries, where the makers of Fairtrade clothing receive a fair price for their work. When the cotton farmers and growers get a fair price, the whole society benefits. They can develop further and live less in poverty.

Sustainable shopping is quite fun once you realize what to look out for. Clothing that lasts a long time, remains beautiful after many washes, and is also well put together (fair production, fair clothing brand). It's just really nice if your purchases are really good and it makes you really happy.
