Conscious Living Clothes

I had no idea about the amount of pesticides and water it takes to grow cotton. Incredibly it takes 1800 gallons of water to make a single pair of jeans. I'm far more conscious now when buying clothes. I'm pursuing a mindful and conscious-living lifestyle and will now avoid man-made, sweatshop-made items. There's a whole new joy to be found in discovering the smaller companies with great ethics and sustainability and supporting them, or even rooting around in charity shops.

Healing the Earth
We can then look at society as a whole and contemplate on what has caused us to be in the situation we find ourselves in. We will then understand that our wellbeing is inseparable from others. We will recognise the need to expand our circle of compassion to include every being on this earth.
Heal Yourself, Heal the World
One of the main things I have realised is that if we start taking care of ourselves – stopping overconsumption, walking instead of driving, eating fresh, locally grown, organic food - everything that is good for us is good for the earth too.
Dear 16-year-old Teenager
I’d like to give you some hope for the future. The climate crisis is possibly the best thing that could have happened to humans. It’s a wake-up call. Most of the adults in the world today have lived a life of over-consumption and lack of respect for Nature. They have been stealing your future and now they have to help you take it back.
After over four decades of climate talks, we're still in a mess. Why?
Imagine, if you will, an alcoholic. In my years nursing, I know that if you explain to an alcoholic that drinking harms his health, relationships, and financial stability, that the vision of a dismal future will not scare him into quitting. The same for someone who smokes, or has any other addiction. You can nag them all you like about the damage they are inflicting on themselves, and maybe they will cut down for a few weeks or will promise to cut down with genuinely good intentions, but nothing will really change. In most cases, the level of their habit will remain the same or even get worse.
Would living a more natural life make us happier?
Are humans really mammals? Every other mammal on earth instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment, but humans do not. We move to an area, multiply until every natural resource is consumed, and the only way we can survive is to spread to another area.
