Did you know that every year, the textile industry consumes 93 trillion liters of water! Which means 4% of the world's annual freshwater intake. To grow 1 kg of cotton fiber, 7 to 29 thousand liters of water are needed. A T-shirt, for example, consumes almost 3,000 liters of water. And this is just for her production. The impacts of washing, to iron the T-shirt, discard and so on were not accounted for.

It is in the disposal part that we act. Extending the use of pieces of fabric, which many would still take more than 100 years to decompose in nature.
