About this listen

Ever wonder what really goes into making your favorite t-shirt? In this episode of Naked Sustainability, Ginny peels back the layers of the fashion industry to follow the global journey of a humble cotton tee—from water-intensive cotton fields and underpaid garment workers to overflowing donation bins and textile waste.

You'll learn:

✅ The environmental + human cost of fast fashion
✅ What clothing certifications like GOTS and OEKO-TEX really mean
✅ Why “eco-friendly” bamboo isn’t always the win it seems
✅ How to shop smarter, repair better, and extend the life of your clothes
✅ Easy steps to start your own timeless wardrobe transition

Whether you live in your tees (like Ginny) or want to be more intentional with your closet, this episode will help you buy less, choose better, and wear longer—with zero judgment and all the practical advice.
