I read Sewing Eco-Guilt? Killer! and groaned. I left a comment but it didn't appear so I'm leaving my response here.
I'm a scientist and I don't care if you wear polyester or organic hemp as long as you curtail driving and flying (and eat less beef.)
I don't even care if your car is electric. I just want you out of a car.
Yes, polyester is made of fossil fuels, but at least it's sequestered in your blouse. Nothing degrades in a landfill, polyester and natural fibers alike. The important thing is to cut down on our consumption.
I wrote a blog series about sustainability and sewing. It has links to actual data.
Penny-wise and pound foolish? Not your post...but that other mentality that prompted the response. All of it is important, but you have to start with the big things... or you never get anywhere.
