WEEK 5

This week I will be talking about fashion news. Neil Young is asking his fans to join in with him to boycott non- organic cotton. He listed several reasons for going organic but the big reason was “2,700 liters of water is used to grow the cotton for just 1 t-shirt. … That’s enough water for 1 person to drink for 900 days or enough water to flush your (non low flow) toilet 270 times!” –Young Cotton is one of the world’s direst crops. Consumers that are aware of this are pushing companies to pursue cleaner options. H&M is number one when it comes to organic cotton. Not so much because it is safer for the earth, it is probably because of the cost is a lot cheaper. This is especially good when it comes to a fast fashion store.
