naturalwestmichigan.com/sustainably-stylish "The trendy “fast fashion” industry standard that originated in the early 1990s has had far-reaching effects that continue today. With a production turnaround time as short as four months, designer knock-offs made with inexpensive materials line the shelves of shopping centers throughout the world. But cheap textiles come with a hidden price tag...." My notes: Just like with our food, know where your clothes are coming from. If they are cheap, know that the labor was cheap as well, most likely sweatshops in foreign countries. Buy local from your own country. Or at least fair-trade.

I dont buy items I am not going to wear for a prolong period. I never buy clothes and discard them any sooner than 12 months. I have jeans that are easily 10 years old.
