This should call the environmental impact within the life cycle of a t-shirt, misleading title.
If we make a t-shirt completely domestically, it will be a lot more environmental friendly, but certainly the costs will rise alot, if we make it right, it will also has a longer lifetime. It's a tradeoff.
I would like to see an episode explaining how it will be like/what is the impacts if we bring commodity manufacturing domestically. Wait, isn't it what Trump is doing?

It's not just shirts, industrialization caused this. But can we say that we could have avoided that? It's nature. Things burn out. Life does. Universe will eventually. And something new will come along and the cycle repeats.
Also, Organic is too expensive at this point that can be afforded by masses.

In the video it is mentioned that in the USA the average household does nearly 400 loads of laundry per year. I wonder how realistic this number is, since there are 365 days in a year. This means that people wash clothes in the washing machine every day and sometimes twice a day.

The true title of this should be: How to terrify people with climate and pollution lies: your clothes pollute more than petroleum. These climate and environmentalist extremists are unbearable!
reply

Ha, you sheeple wear clothes? I, an enlightened man, do not wear any clothes. Though these people with badges and radios restrained me and put me in this cell for where I now reside.

When your t shirts are old rip them to pieces and wash those pieces, perferably with your hands. then store those ripped peices for your next sewing project.

I am considering about the last part of the T-shirt life cycle---the recycle part, tons of T-shirts cannot be directly throw to the dust heap isn't it?
