How Companies Like Patagonia Are Fighting Climate Change

As the world population approaches eight billion, there will be a growing need for basic necessities like clothing. To make clothes that are sustainable means reducing carbon emissions as much as possible, using sustainable materials, and ending the use of labor exploitation. The way clothes are made today cannot continue without massive damages to the Earth's climate, global ecosystems, and human rights. A high standard of transparency among all clothing companies is crucial to hold them accountable for their claims and ending the practice of "greenwashing". By choosing the right companies, and knowing what to avoid when shopping, people as a whole can influence global fashion trends and drive a more sustainable market.

Nice video. I just started my small eco Friendly athleisure wear and or committed has been using entirely recycled fabrics.

However packaging remains a pig nut to crack. What is your opinion on sugarcane mailers and bamboo? In the end plastics are produced from this sources and how different are they from oil based? Or should we just opt for paper mailing bags?
