Hey TED, I’m going to call you out on this one...either that or tell my Uncle his “stripper” has got to go...I don’t think he will part with his “stripper” (a stripper is a human driven machine that strips cotton...I have never seen a self propelled farming machine in my whole life of wheat, alfalfa, oats, millet, and cotton farming. Also, that part about “irrigated cotton“ is incorrect, that is why they grow cotton down here in Texas, because they don’t IRRIGATE, rain is what waters the cotton..I guess we need to try to conserve rain. On another note, I tested cotton for the USDA in Lubbock for awhile, I would rather be running a module builder...(one of the worst jobs of cotton harvesting/farming). Hemp is said to use less land, less pesticides, less water, is more durable, etc. Too bad trying to find hemp clothing is almost impossible. Recently, I've watched some Ted-EDs vids and I notice a very huge difference than their previous vids. Azo dye (& a whole lot of chemicals) has been banned a long time ago, can’t use in items exported to EU/US/CA/AUS etc. For instance, Azo is banned for Chinese domestic market as well. However, eastern countries don’t have comprehensive bans like the west, so western countries produce and can export carcinogenic chemicals to the east (but not sell locally in home country). Ted-Ed there is a factually incorrect statement within your video. Organic cotton still utilizes pesticides, they simply do not use synthetic pesticides. Organic pesticides can be just as harmful to humans and the environment as synthetic ones. You also failed to mention GM cotton, which is less resource intensive than both organic and conventional cottons. Great video, but I have to advocate against recycled materials as clothing. Recycled fabrics (such as spandex, rayon, polyester, etc) are major contributors to microplastic (also known as microfiber) pollution in waterways and oceans. Instead of buyingclothes made from recycled fabrics, look for natural options (wool, cotton, hemp, tencel, linen, etc.). Being an educated consumer is so important in today’s world. The cotton industry's most obvious environmental outcome to date could still easily be the death of the Aral Sea. Almost all the water that used to flow to the sea has ended up on farms and countries like Uzbekistan (the key offender of the 5 countries using the water) uses the majority on cotton farming which is significantly more water-intensive than regular food crops but makes more money than food crops so. Whilst the other central Asian countries have all attempted to cut water use and implement strategies to balance human needs with water use, Uzbekistan's total economic reliance on the world's hunger for cotton has meant they refuse to cooperate and there is basically no hope of the situation being fixed (except for Kazakhstan damming off the northern corner and filling it with the water they've managed to save). I wash one load, once every ten days and I'm a reasonably ordinary person. Almost every young person in the clip was wearing some sort of t shirt so they are not just "inheriting" the pollution, they are also sustaining it. Which industrially produced garment does not create pollution and can be worn by anyone? Y’all do realize that water it takes to raise this cotton is mostly regular rain fall? Where I grew up there were cotton fields as far as you could see and unless it was an untimely drought there was never extra watering or irrigation of fields. We also had a trending tees factory until NAFTA fucked us out of 8000 jobs. So there goes your pollution.
How to get your trending tees from Gravartees Store
All grown and milled and made within a 20 mile radius for some of your top selling brands Hanes to Tommy. Don’t lecture to much until you know the real story. I wish instead of the environmental impact, this would have discussed the abhorrent conditions and wages those millions of people live under. We are asking for $15 an hour here... they are earning closer to 15 CENTS in some places. This deserves more than a passing glimpse. To give you an idea of how great this wage discrepancy is... my phone keyboard does not even have the cent sign anymore, just the dollar sign. Even if you don't care about their lives, understand that as long as we continue to buy products from countries that exploit cheap labor, THEIR minimum wage is OUR actual minimum wage. Next time you are job searching for a stable mon-fri work for a living wage, check the tag on your clothes and electronics and see how many jobs we obviously need to sustain ourselves that are literally on the other side of the world. Buy U.S.A. made! We could tell Fashion industry helps make lots of jobs for people around the world.. I think it’s fair to continue this industry this way but with better ways to stop polluting environment and ways to give better income for workers.... should we buy less clothes ? Will it change anything while i think they will keep producing clothes anyway. No thanks I will not buy organic clothing. It is way way to expensive for what it is. For example an organic cotton shirt 100 dollars next to a cotton shirt that is 5 to 10 dollars. Just a basic T shirt is expensive if it is organic. I do buy second hand but I do not like to do that all the time. I like fashion but the best way to get the most out of it is to stop BUYING forever 21 clothing. It is such bad quality. I like clothes from Khols, JC Penny, Maurices, Target, Cato, just at the top of my head. Also, please wash your clothes from the thrift store they do not wash them. But it probably also takes people away from doing other businesses that could help their economy. If so much of their economy is based on one thing, that’s how the damage of colonialism happens. There's a documentary about fast fashion, and it's terrible. The dream of companies now is to become fast, aka fast food, fast fashion, big Parma; to make all disposable and consuming every day , buy trending tees for any event. As an industrial hygienist and environmental engineer I’m very interested in the safe use of pesticides in farming. The Environmental Protection Agency was developing regulations to protect farm workers. The US Department of Agriculture for years has implemented guidelines that state the waiting period after a field is sprayed with a pesticide before workers are allowed to work on it. The Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) developed many years ago the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) to control insects with minimum use of pesticides.
