trying to buy less petroleum-based products has really opened my eyes to how pervasive they are in clothing—polyester, nylon, acrylic, pvc / vegan “leather”, spandex, etc. even spendier brands like everlane will sell something with cotton in the name to have the tag reveal it’s 30% nylon.
I’m also learning that fabrics are the easiest part to track of petrochemical processing in —dyeing and prep processes harder. it’s a bummer, man https://www.wellandgood.com/petroleum-based-fashion-impact/

also just bums me out to see thrift store racks overrun with shein selling for over the original price. I know fast fashion isn’t new, but secondhand not being able to compete with prices new feels newer and bad in every way

I really feel like we should’ve never been trusted with bone juice as a society
