For me another alternative is buying locally made or made in U.S. One day I looked through my entire closet and only found maybe two articles of clothing that were made in this country. Not that being made in the U.S. eliminates all possibility of negative production practices, but I’d like to think there are some limitations. CNN put out a list of resources for Made in America products here, and there are many more artisan choices out there. Even though these items typically cost more, I find they are usually well-made and long-lasting, and can be a unique addition to your wardrobe.
