Wash Less Often in Cold Water

Support Nonprofits Creating Solutions
These nonprofits work for climate and garment worker justice through campaigns, petitions, and initiatives. You can support them with just a donation or a signature. More to be added soon!
The Or Foundation
“Too much clothing. Not enough justice. Too often a consumer. So rarely a human. It is time to recover. You are invited.” A registered nonprofit in Ghana and the U.S., The Or Foundation’s mission is to catalyze a Justice-Led Circular Economy.
Collective Fashion Justice
“Our mission is to illuminate the interlinked injustices in fashion supply chains that harm the planet, people and our fellow animals. By uprooting their intertwined harm, we work to create a total ethics fashion system.”
Fashion Revolution
“For nearly 10 years, we have been campaigning passionately for a clean, safe, fair, transparent and accountable fashion industry. We believe in a global fashion industry that conserves and restores the environment and values people over growth and profit.”
