The life cycle of a t-shirt



It's a cotton t-shirt, right?

Cotton is a natural product, so it can't be all that rough on the environment, can it?

Water used to grow cotton...pesticides to grow cotton...ship cotton...blend/card cotton...weave cotton...treat with chemical dyes and bleaches...stich cotton by hand...ship cotton again...buy shirt...wash shirt...dry shirt...repeat the last two steps again and again...

Maybe we should reduce our need for new stuff.
