Does anyone have any knowledge of or suggested reading on the environmental impact of clothing manufacturing? I imagine the two most damaging processes are growing the plants or animals for the required fiber and dying the fabric/yarn. (The Economist recently had an article that alluded to the impact that dying had on local streams and rivers in China.)
Also, is there a systematic way to trace the fabrics labels use in their clothing? For example, from reading this forum, I've surmised that RLBL's dress shirts are made by Lorenzini. How do I find out who grew Lorenzini's cotton and who dyed it? Or, if I'm choosing a wool by Zegna, how can I tell where the wool was grown (Australia/New Zealand?) and where it was dyed?
Thank you.
