The Clean Clothing Movement

The clean clothing movement is an idea whose time has come.

By supporting companies that use sweatshop practices we provide them with an incentive to continue exploiting workers. We can make a difference. Support companies that use fair labor practices. If we think that sweatshops are abhorrent, then we shouldn't buy products made in them. By choosing to buy "clean clothing" we are able to take a meaningful stand on the issue.

In business, the only votes that count are green.

We can talk about sweatshops until we are blue in the face, but until we stop buying products from companies that rely on the abuse of our fellow human beings we will perpetuate the current system.

Talk minus action equals zero.

Up until a few years ago, there were almost no "clean clothing" options available to the public. Fortunately this is changing. There are now a number of companies producing clothing with the use of fair labor practices. Every purchase from one of these companies is a vote for a more humane labor system. Help humanize the garment industry. Please support the handful of companies out there that are taking a stand on this important issue.
