About the clothing industry
The clothing industry today is…
- Today, many in the cotton and garment industry are lured by fake job prospects. This is modern day labor slavery.
- Working conditions can be awful. And when workers raise concerns, they are often punished.
- Many of the chemicals and dyes used in clothing production find their way into our drinking water.
- These chemicals are toxic and have been linked to several health problems.
- The industry is a large consumer of toxic insecticides, pesticides, and dyes.
- Some of these chemicals are so dangerous and toxic, they have been banned in the EU.
