Unfortunately extremely high water usage to grow cotton, and a lot of it is grown in places that need that water for other things (RIP Aral Sea).
Based on the article we should use flax aka linen, which I suppose makes sense. Linen was once a finery due to the excessive effort needed to produce it, but now we have machinery.
I agree with you wholeheartedly.
I buy very few clothes, so I save up to spend more on ones I think will last longer.
It's very burdensome when something doesn't last long enough to reach that price-equilibrium point compared to simply purchasing more, cheaper clothing.
I am currently almost out of socks and panties because of this :(
That is correct.
Ethics come at a premium. Ethics are a luxury good.
It is a pretty good article but I have some nitpicks:
They say both that you cannot decide in a vacuum and fast fashion uses synth materials to make disposable clothing. I think given these two ideas, the carbon usage for one garment of wool vs one garment of nylon should include all the "waste" garments produced as well. Since, when you buy from a company that practices this, the impact is from the whole process, as they are keen to point out. That includes the sweatshop to landfill garments.
Personally I like not wearing a microplastics generator.
I am also curious about hemp clothing.
There are mulesing free certificates, and some companies go the extra mile.
Varusteleka is pretty open about their wool, but they don't have the biggest selection.
(varusteleka, I've called you out twice on this account, sponsor me lmao)
Socialization and temperament, plus some kitties are real snugglebugs lol
Ears neutral, whiskers forward, mouth closed.
All signs of friendliness and acceptance.
Eyes are fully open so kitty is aware and alert, but pupils aren't in attack mode.
Seems fine, kitty is probably going to be annoyed about the whisker touching if it keeps happening tho.
Thanks for my $3 for taking away my ability to run linux on PS3 :(
It shouldn't matter as long as the sites are developed only with open standards.
We already have webcompat for anything truly broken.
If they revoke your license you should get a full refund tbh.
If it's worth $n to access something, then the damages for revoking it should also be $n.
Not sure why it happens.
Just using it on fedora as installed from the repos.
Big Journalism wants you to believe journalists are subject matter experts. They're not.
