That is what is so interesting to me too Katharina, that we are having this international conversation and finding many similarities in our thoughts about what is happening in our global world! Maybe as we support one another, we can make a difference. Even baby steps of improvement is improvement. :)

That is interesting you, and your parents, had the foresight to see long-term effects formulated years before and at the same time feel it must also be frustrating to see some of these negative consequences it's produced(producing). I also feel it's not only clothing.... but our food and products we buy. How interesting to have this international conversation together here and find so many similarities in our thoughts! :)

It's good to think about everything one does from this sort of moral perspective - clothes, food, small goods. I guess globalization affects every industry - and don't get me started on the amoral financial system that is not anchored to reality at all. I did a wonderful course with Prof Peter Sellars - Art as Social Action, that introduced a lot of these concepts to me, along with my parents of course, who were well onto this in the 1950's.

Lisa, thanks for this post and the links. I'm out of the loop having been away from computer and sewing machine for a week while my daughter and grandson visited from out of town. Catch up time for me!

I have never understood shopping as a hobby or something that people put on their vacation activities. Even as much as I love to visit new-to-me fabric stores, it's still not an activity I'd put at the top of my fun list.
