from the clothes that
we put on our body!

- 60+ million people work in the fabric & fashion industries

- 80,000 chemicals in commerce are free to be used without regulation ~ Unacceptable Levels

People affected along the supply chain & retail:
​farmers, cutters, sewers, bleachers, washers, fabric dyers, nearby communities, retail employees, your family and you.

Chemicals to think about: pesticides, fiber extractors, bleach, detergent, dyes, mordants, printing fluids, finishing agents, fire retardants.

​HOW TO SHOP FOR SHI(F)T 

Why? Because we give a --------->f
​
The shopping guide for healthier fashion that doesn't suck!'s purpose is: 

- Introduce better shopping habits, helpful resources, and understanding of what clothes are made of

- Enable shoppers to ask important questions like, How do my clothes affect the health of my family and myself, the people who make my clothes and the world that we live in?

- Provide an introduction to fashion-related pollution problems, by spotlighting chemicals used and waste created in the making of a garment

- Teach shoppers what to look for, where to find it and how to use their newfound knowledge to influence the fashion industry

- Offer tools and terms for shoppers to share the exciting things they’ve learned

- Empower shoppers to #MakeShiftHappen



​HOW TO THINK BEYOND
THE LABEL 

"What's in my tee?"

Beyond the Label (BtL) started as a partnership with TEDxLA to educate Angelenos about the true social, environmental, and health cost of their fashion purchases.
​
​BtL is now a charitable organization that addresses the question “What's in my tee?”
​to encourage shoppers to consider what their T-shirt is made of…
​ ...and how their purchases affect the world, workers and themselves.

Now is the time to #MakeShiftHappen

Let's join together to make a cleaner (healthier) fashion industry for ourselves,
the people we love & the people who make our clothes!
