Whatever advertising spin is put on it.....recycling plastic bottles into the latest fashion still pollutes our environment in the same devastating way as creating a new bottle. This video shows how its done. Ground and surface water is polluted from the caustic soda baths, air is polluted from heating the plastic, enormous amounts of energy is used, workers health is at risk and the final product (clothes) can still be linked to chronic illness and disease. We should all just wrap ourselves in plastic wrap......because that's exactly what you're doing when you wear recycled fabric! Please don't be mislead by the hype. Here's a suggestion. LET'S STOP MAKING PLASTIC, PERIOD. Every batch ever created will stay on this earth forever and never leave. The difference being now there will be pairs of jeans laying around.....

Wear Organic Clothing: The Dark Reality of Cheap Fashion Inside Cambodia
The cold reality of devastating practices widely used in the
textile industry to employ cheap labor.
When your clothes are made this way; they can be cheap. Are you willing to pay for the slavery and exploitation of women? This inside video of Cambodia's garment manufacturing realities is a bit hard to watch but something anyone who wears clothes should see.
What's the alternative you ask?
- Know where your clothes are made by simply reading the label and refuse to purchase garments made in countries that employ slavery tactics, do not pay living wages, house factories in unsafe buildings, lock workers inside facilities, use fear tactics to force long hours and force people to work against their will.
- Shop small companies committed to integrity over profits and consciousness in manufacturing.
- Look for companies who are willing and eager to show transparency in their supply chain. Many organic clothing companies publicly post their stories on their websites for everyone to read. Many are doing some very positive things in an effort to clean up the dirty business of fashion as we know it.
- Buy organic clothing and support fair trade living wage pay,chemical and toxic free environments to work in, artisan crafts where creators and makers have names and faces, and a sustainable way of life.

CATA a Member of Jay Fant Business Leaders Coalition Group
In an industry (fashion) where consumers believe size matters and the only products worth buying are the one's advertised by big companies (brands) in the media.... "CATA" is working to join small organic apparel companies together, creating one resource to serve the needs of conscious consumers across America.
Taxes, regulation and big government holds small businesses back from realizing their full potential.
As part of the Jay Fant Business Leaders Coalition Group we believe we have a voice. "CATA" Consumers Against Toxic Apparel, LLC goal is to set the precedence for organic, clean, safe and sustainable fashion with the support of many small companies making a difference in one BIG industry.
