The water used is used in various ways. Most of it is clean and evaporates back to atmosphere and is cycled in the environment. It is not lost, albeit the water could have been used to grow something else. I personally hate shopping and shop for cloths once a year, maybe for new pair of jeans, trousers. I wear t-shirts and jackets that I was wearing 15 years ago often. I buy new shoes maybe every second year. Reduction and reuse are the best alternative obviously. But also longer lasting fabrics and materials are a good idea. I can't stand people who have obsession with fashion, new trends, and buying often. It repulses me physically.

Does anyone have any clarification as to whether the places the cloths are grown have surplus or deficets of drinking water and if the water used on the cotton plants is of drinking quality? I know that the Aral sea had its rivers diverted for cotton farming which is terrible but are any of the other cotton farms sustainable? Also what happens when the plant use the water, does it not just everporate and get put back into the water cycle or drain back into a sea? Conservation of energy means that not all the 1000's of litres of water are actually turned into cloths (or a hoody would weigh tons) so what happens to the excess?

I am ignorant to the fact and shocked. But I also think that the error lies in over production and wastage. We know our skin prefers cotton, so what is an equal alternative?

Buy less. Would help for a start.

The water isn't even lost in photosynthesis because when it is used to recover energy in respiration, the glucose and oxygen produces water and carbon dioxide.

But the only way I see the future of consumerism being made-to-order is if its government-mandated. Most consumers, being uninformed, and every industry would never agree to switching to such a system en masse.

Oh don’t be ridiculous, honestly!

Stacy on Blood Sweat and Tshirt was sooooo cute....

How about to make a royal wedding. We are not informed by your network BBC. I buy clothes and toys for my grandchildren at thrifty shops. Unless I'm invited to The Ball.

wait is this good because of global worming

I disagree Stacy, people don’t care. They know the effects and impacts of buying dirt cheap clothes to satisfy their economic needs. You want a £10 jumper ? There’s the £10 jumper. But don’t complain because your the demand for these £10 jumpers. That’s why there are people and children making pennies daily for your jumper, living in piss poor conditions to ‘ support ‘ their families which they can barely do. Environmentally you can’t complain that millions of dye is being released into the ocean effecting everything. Want to make a change ? Buy clothes from reasonable organisations who don’t do this shit, ethical clothing. You could also buy more expensive clothes which usually have more quality standards.

Exactly. People want to be blind to reality.

well said. Even a pound on the price of the clothing would make a big difference if it went to the people who make them

@Daniel Factor I'm literally homeless btw before u start implying I'm well off in any way, but charity shops are heaps cheaper for clothes that are often basically brand new or in great condition. U can even find branded clothes for super cheap (see, 'a pair of Doc Martins for £20 instead of £120). If we encouraged everyone - including rich people - to shop second hand more, an bash down the stigma around it, then we reduce the demand for new clothes to be made using resources
