Do Trousers Grow on Trees?

How is clothing made and is it sustainable?

Jasmien Wynants & Judith Thomas

How is your T-shirt made? What is the impact on the planet, and can we improve on that?

Informative book about clothing: full of did-you-knows, little tasks and colourful illustrations

Written and illustrated by an expert in sustainable fashion and a fashion designer

Did you know:

• that your T-shirt has already travelled the whole world before it ends up in your closet?

• you need as much water for making one T-shirt as the amount you drink from your birth until you’re 7 years old?

• clothes are made of trees, plants, cows, sheep and even oil?

• every second that goes by a truck of cloths is being dumped or burned?

Learn more about it, and how we can deal with clothing in a more sustainable way.
