Now scientists say wearing JEANS is bad for the environment: Study reveals wearing a pair just once is the equivalent to driving a car for 6.4 miles
2024-04-06
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Worth it!
  • Researchers say that jeans sold in fast fashion produce 2.5kg of CO2 per wear

  • Buying second-hand or recycling old clothes can cut emissions by 90 per cent
    Sure, but buying used means the items won’t last as long, then will need to be replaced. It’s a wash.

#11  I just finished a study that says scientists are bad for the environment and the equivalent of driving a car 60 miles a day.

Recommend immediate execution of all those scientists.

#9  First, its Daily Mail, which is as retarded as a Panda on a heavy metals diet.

Well thats it really. No need to keep reading after the first Covid article.

So jeans, or any product, certain energy goes into getting those pants on you. Each wear then makes the energy per product less. 10 energy, 5 wears, 2 energy per wear. 10 energy, 20 wears, 0.5 energy per wear.

So what we are looking for here is durability, something The West used to do before getting hooked on chinesium and The Beatles.

I am sure though, Daily Mail will retort that a dashiki is good for the environment.

#5  'Fast Fashion' jeans worn just seven times versus 'traditional' jeans are worn 120 times.

Fast fashion is a business model that focuses on the production of garments in bulk, and as quickly as possible, in response to current trends, according to Dr. Preeti Arya CNN

Study debunked!

These people are bloody nuts. On the up side jeans might help produce plant food gas.

#3  My jeans are all about 10 years old, so they're recycled every time I wear them.

Not sure about the CO2 part, maybe CH4?

#2  How does that compare with other pants? Maybe grass skirts are the answer? Or fig leaves...?
