This snappy little book with a big message was written by a young person, and the message is timely and good. We all buy too many clothes and most go into landfills, with some fabrics that never degrade or break down. There are a number of alternatives: shopping at stores that sell responsibly made clothing at every stage of the process, buying second hand, altering second hand, etc. So many ideas and places to look online and otherwise. It's a good resource for those who care about the environment and we should all care. This is the author's second book and there's another in the offing. It's written in a style young people will like, and it's literally for everyone. An easy and fast read with loads of pictures.

Not what I expected, but was a fun and informative read. Definitely something that I would pass along to others. ( )

Very interesting read. Not what I was expecting, but I did enjoy it. Definitely worth sharing with several friends! ( )

I received this book as part of the Early Reviewers program. And I am very grateful I did. I never realized just how much impact the fashion industry has on global environment. This is a relatively quick read, however the message is still very poignant. Fashion does impact the world! Paisley argues to stop funding companies with unethical business practices, and to instead support companies that have a smaller, greener footprint. The book acts like a guidebook to what to look for with labels, finding fair trade companies, and even tips to the 3 R’s: reduce, reuse, recycle. This book is perfect for the conscientious shopper, and anyone interested in the fashion industry. Ultimately, your clothes can change the world. ( )

This is a nice book for a teen or young person to start diving into the world of ethical fashion. It's a fun and fresh book that manages to be a quick read, but still packs a punch. I think this could really get someone thinking about not only fashion's place in the world, but how it affects the our environment. I'd definitely recommend this book as fun gift idea! ( )
