In every stage of the production there us quite a heavy environmental burden. In cotton production large amounts of water, fertilizers and pesticides are used. The amount of water for irrigation can be as high as 25.000 liter per kg of cotton produced. (iswa.com) Companies are trying to save as much water to reduce the footprint.

And since cotton can require up to 7,660 gallons of water when growing, it can be very harmful to the environment. A way clothes makers can help is by making jeans with organic cotton, using more eco-friendly dyes, and even recycling old pairs of jeans to make new ones. Helping these companies that are trying to decrease their carbon footprint is the best possible thing you could do. Supporting companies that are using environmentally friendly alternatives to making jeans. ]]> 2021-04-08 13:55:59 UTC https://padlet.com/lveronico1/g30759rh8c9e4gxa/wish/1395916053 Monika https://padlet.com/lveronico1/g30759rh8c9e4gxa/wish/1395916189 Denim is made primarily of cotton and Producing just 1 kilogram of cotton can require up to 7,660 gallons of water.

Denim is made primarily with cotton, though it’s now often blended with synthetic fibers like polyester. And though all fibers have their trade-offs, “cotton in general is a very thirsty crop,” says Tatiana Schlossberg, a former environmental reporter at the New York Times and the author of Inconspicuous Consumption, a new book on the hidden environmental impact of our spending habits. Very thirsty, indeed: Producing just 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) of cotton can require up to 7,660 gallons of water, depending on where it’s grown. (In comparison, producing 2.2 pounds of tomatoes requires one one-hundredth of that amount, 76 gallons.) A cotton crop consumes a lot of chemicals too: 16 percent of all insecticides are used on the plant, and many of them pose significant health risks for farm workers and nearby residents.

Levi’s believes that it is possible. In the pilot with six suppliers and the IFC, part of the Partnership for Cleaner Textiles, the manufacturers tackled “only the low-hanging fruit,” Kobori says, but still saw significant drops in energy use. Now Levi’s will also work with suppliers to assess the possibility of shifting to renewable energy, and will work with IFC to help finance onsite renewables when that makes sense. It will also expand the program to work not only with factories sewing clothes but with facilities that make the fabric–which have a carbon footprint three times larger.

The waters smell terrible and unsafe amounts of metals like mercury, lead, and copper are in the water.

Companies like Levis are trying to decrease their footprint. They are doing this by cutting down on water and greenhouse gasses to produce the jeans.https://clearspider.net/blog/levi-strauss-co/

Companies can reduce their carbon footprint by choosing an energy supply that can reduce CO2 emmisions and using renewable energy resources. I can support this cause by using some of the renewable resources like solar panels or wind mills, or just using limited amounts of energy.

These chemicals end up washing into rivers and lakes via wastewater dumped by those companies, which results in water pollution and contamination. To decrease their "footprint", a filming company has filmed an insider documentary about how jeans are produced, hopefully convincing regular citizens to hold off on jean buying. I can support this cause by 1) not buying jeans if I can and 2) if it's still usable, consider passing them down to siblings, etc.
