Think Before You Buy Apparel: Consequences of Your Purchases

There is a landfill in India the size of twelve football fields that caught fire years ago and still burns to this day.

Forced labor, massive waste, horrible working conditions and wages, landfills, etc. In today's crowded and connected world, the fact is your purchases, especially apparel, carry far reaching consequences in places you'll never visit.

One resolution is eco-friendly on-demand manufacturing, the preferred option of PopFelix. 

Yes, you need to wait a bit longer for your item to be made but the truth is you're making a real difference. Isn't that worth a few extra days?

On-demand means no waste, no landfills, no slave labor. Instead of filling a warehouse with items that'll end up clogging the earth, individual items are created when ordered.

So next time you want to buy that fast fashion $5 t-shirt at Walmart, we ask that you take a moment to consider the waste machine your feeding and the person who was paid $0.10 to make it.

Because chances are that cheap tee will end up burning in a landfill somewhere in India or Indonesia or Insert Country Here.

Buy on-demand, buy second hand, and you stop being part of the burning mountain.
