" Consumers have the power when they go into a store to ask whether clothing has been tested for its impact on the environment ..."
I never gave a sh*t about my clothing's impact on the environment ... and still don't ! The only "impact" I care about is it's "impact" on me ... That's why I never bought a Nehru Jacket or a Leisure Suit . As far as synthetics go ... I've always preferred cotton and wool but that was an aesthetic consideration only .
