Green agenda BS aside, yes, the fashion industry is responsible for the dumping of a ton of pollutants and waste of drinkable water. It can be done in a more efficient way, and still look good, but [they] would want us all wearing the grey nylon jumpsuits while they parade around in with baby seal gloves and snow fox scarves.
Fast fashion is also gotten way out of hand. A good pair of jeans or clothes used to last you years or even decades. Now people throw away clothes after wearing them once or twice... It's fuckn insane
"Now scientists say..." That's how we know this is legit.
Especially when they single out one of the most popular garments in the country, and run their models on the assumption that people will only wear them 7 times over their lifetime.
not to mention a piece of american history, and a cultural staple...
Levi's corp are Trump haters.
not surprising.
But Levi strauss developed something that became a part of Americana, and it's a damn shame that the people who inherited the name of such an icon (the brand/garment) shat all over it...
Wearing levi's can't be bad for the environment in the USA considering none of their crap is made here any longer....
Considering you can wear a pair of Levis for 10 or 20 years because they are so sturdy, I would think they are a "green" jean.
Now you made me miss Mr. Green Jeans! 😄

My very first thought as well from this boomer brain.
Great minds, (at least, what we have left of them 😉), think alike!
Good point. Emissions don’t happen if they’re manufactured outside of the country, right?
Just ask China and India
Levi's is a woke company so I have not purchased anything from them in well over a decade.
Besides that, their quality is pure crap compared to what it used to be.
I still have a 20 year old pair of Levi's and the material is much, much thicker and the stitching much better than the crap they sell now.
There are a few brands out there that still make quality blue jeans, no need to give Levi's any of your money.
Shame what they did to Levi Strauss' legacy...
Who the heck wears their jeans "just seven times" though? That's insane.
Do they perhaps mean seven times between washes? Because that is more reasonable.
True. If they're the good kind and well mantained, you can wear them non stop for 3 years, easily.Iirc the jeans fabric was originally concieved for the slaves that picked cotton, and for the military. It had to be resistant.
My last pair of American made Levi's lasted 20 years. The new ones, you'd be lucky to have for 2.

I’m sorry… But that picture actually looks like a woman. They forgot to leave the penis in the photo. LGBT bigots. 😂😂😂
They conveniently did not include the CO2 absorbed by the cotton plants and the oxygen released in their calculations....
One has to wonder at just how many jeans one volcano is equal to... 😉
Levi's = Rep Dan Goldman
These pants are made for walking, that's just what they do; one of these days they gonna walk all over you...
Hmmm, 6.4 miles you say-walking at 3.3MPH, 1.94 hours - walking off calories is good..
levis supports red-flag laws.
Green agenda is so fake and gay. So are "scientists".
Well how many items can be added too that list and come to the same conclusion?
Only worn 7 times? Traditional jeans 120 times? What, by rich people? I wore a pair of jeans I bought in 2012 for five years until they got a big hole in them. I wore those jeans at least four times a week.
are levi's made in America even?
I am definitely buying more jeans!
i dont trust Levi's, they always smell like toxic waste when i buy em
Levi's is a Trump hater corp.
sadly, they were once one of the best brands... you could buy a used pair of levi's at a thrift store and get ten or fifteen years out of them...
We are back to trusting the "science" again?
Levi's products are bad for America. Woke-ass punk bitch corporation. Do. Not. Buy.
