Our Choice and its true cost

Clothing: We wear it on our skin, own too much of it and keep buying more. The label provides basic information about origin and production, but there is much more we should know about the impact of our choices on people and on the environment. It’s time to take a closer, more critical look at our purchasing behavior – because responsibility is everyone’s business.
