These chemicals are polluting the waters and are even able to change the sex of a fish. Though this maybe cheap, multinational companies could sacrifice a few dollars to make their products ethically. Big companies such as Nike, Adidas, H&M and etc all make billions of dollars of revenue yearly and millions to billions of dollars in profit. Might as well use those for detoxing of production. But companies agreed on detoxing by 2020 but that doesn't mean banning the chemicals.

When talking about the production of blue jeans, it stated that each pair takes around 950 gallons of clean water to create. A lot of that water used ends up just being wasted, rather than recycled and cleaned for future purposes. I think recycling the used water would cut down a large amount of the water used when creating a pair of jeans. This would be an effective, consistent, and reasonable cheap option.

While industrial pollution is the most frequently discussed source of pollution, land use and degradation accounts for about half of the pollution found in China’s water. Fertilizers, pesticides, and livestock waste is carried into lakes, rivers, wetlands and coastal waters. Aquifers are also impacted as rainfall and snowmelt carry pollutants underground.There have been many solutions and steps to solve this issue such as clean up projects. These clean up projects aim to be able to protect rural water supplies and keep track as well as facilitate better sewage treatment. By protecting forests and improving agricultural practices in targeted areas in China, the country can improve water quality. China has been trying to tackle the problem and start solving the issue but I believe that though efforts of treating contaminated water and other such issues do help, they must first create and impose guidelines for the places such the industrial factories that are the foundation for these issues.
