About What You're Supporting When You Buy Clothing

When you're shopping for clothing, it's important to consider what the brand stands for. Is this company making strides toward sustainability? Are they committed to protecting their workers' rights, or do they take advantage of them? Does this brand have goals in place when it comes to environmental impact and social responsibility? How does the company treat its customers - are they given information about how their purchases are made and sold, or do they only receive vague marketing copy that doesn't tell much at all about how things work behind closed doors at headquarters (or wherever else)?

It also gives you more control over working conditions, as well as provides better wages for the people who make the clothes (and they can spend their money locally).
