    Without providing an alternative, this infographic (not a meme) is useless to me. For all I know, every other kind of trouser is worse. Without a source for the data, it could all just be lies.

      Anything but nudism is unethical!

      I mean, I’m pretty sure I couldn’t hide 2,600 gallons of water in my jeans.

        The dad jeans the young women are wearing have wider legs to hide all the extra water

      The biggest problem is that artificial fabrics are better if you only use these measures. Nylon doesn’t require arable land, or fertilizers, nor take the place of food production. Nylon is much lighter so far more efficient to ship. I don’t know about manufacturing water or co2, but I wouldn’t be surprised if nylon wins.

      This is why it’s not that easy. This is why “plastics” will be impossible to stop using. Do we really think it’s beneficial to continue down the path of fewer natural fabrics, even if common metrics say it is?

      As you said , we need alternatives, including why. Some of that may be additional metrics (anyone concerned about micro plastics in wastewater?). Otherwise this just creates stress and hopelessness.
