Americans discard almost 68 pounds of textiles per person per year. The average cost we pay for basic items-- t-shirts, socks, jeans-- has declined as much as 60% in thirty years. Lower prices means that many of us don't care so much about our clothes. It also means we're often buying clothes that are lower in quality and don't last as long. It's time to reconsider our relationship to the clothing and textiles we own or plan to purchase. As Kate Fletcher, author and professor of sustainable design, puts it: "Garments may be sold as a product, but they are lived as a process." Her collaborative Craft of Use project aims to alter how we have come to see our clothing; rather than easily discardable, clothing and textiles are malleable and can become more useful to us over time. There's much more behind a "Made In" label than the country where your clothes are sewn. There are probably stories you could tell about your own clothes, especially the items you've owned a long time. What if we cared more for our clothes? Read on to learn about ways to change your habits as they relate to your attitude towards consumption and the long term care of your clothing and textiles.     https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53921524e4b00b60ef13eff6/t/53beb340e4b051fad94ea2e2/1405006656699/Screen+shot+2014-06-11+at+4.03.30+PM.png actions - The Sourcemap for Cotton Road Sourcemap: Find out where things come from Explore the Cotton Road Sourcemap and trace the global steps of a typical cotton supply chain, from dirt to finished product. Sourcemap is a crowd sourced directory of supply chains and carbon footprints. You can explore supply chain maps on the Sourcemap site and sign up for a free account to map an object or product. From lunches to computers, there's a lot to explore. We also have a Sourcemap for our Cotton Road t-shirts. If you purchased a shirt and would like us to map your location, drop us an email and ask to be included.   https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53921524e4b00b60ef13eff6/t/552c340ce4b04fbdcb9acd0e/1410111711621/IMG_0003.jpg actions - Screen + Swap Host a clothing swap alongside a screening of Cotton Road. Cotton Road shows the work and industrial processes within a typical cotton supply chain and asks us to reflect more deeply on the social and environmental concerns behind the Made In label. 98% of clothing sold in the United States is produced by workers overseas. Because cheap clothing prices have now become the norm (think H&M; Forever 21; or any mass retailer), few people give much thought to buying something new and even dispose of clothing after only a season or two. Americans now throw away, on average, about 68 pounds of textiles per person per year. Hosting a clothing swap with friends is a great way to reflect on your consumption habits and attitude towards clothing. It's also an opportunity to refresh your wardrobe without spending any money. Read on for resources and ideas and learn how you can host your own SCREEN AND SWAP - a clothing swap and screening of Cotton Road. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53921524e4b00b60ef13eff6/t/554129dae4b0aa77c37748e7/1430333898160/FRD2015_instructions_on24th-700x700.jpg actions https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53921524e4b00b60ef13eff6/t/55412a8de4b0dfaffe62705b/1402531851111/hands3.jpg actions https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53921524e4b00b60ef13eff6/t/539646aae4b0a5f8c796574e/1402357420598/weaving+machine.jpg actions http://www.cottonroadmovie.com/educators daily 0.75 2015-04-13 http://www.cottonroadmovie.com/screenings daily 0.75 2016-01-24 http://www.cottonroadmovie.com/contact daily 0.75 2014-07-10 http://www.cottonroadmovie.com/press daily 0.75 2015-02-23 http://www.cottonroadmovie.com/about daily 0.75 2015-04-14 http://www.cottonroadmovie.com/trailer daily 0.75 2014-09-08 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53921524e4b00b60ef13eff6/540cce8ee4b0387389f53dfd/540cce8ee4b08e28fe4b297c/1410125454366/8EEB4E4EEF_201497_172739_leaf_sized.png trailer https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53921524e4b00b60ef13eff6/540cce8ee4b0387389f53dfd/540cdb01e4b01f1007d29b5f/1410128641929/2ECD827EB7_201497_181745_leaf_sized.png trailer https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53921524e4b00b60ef13eff6/540cce8ee4b0387389f53dfd/540cdb02e4b06b4ddebdad55/1410128642407/171BCE8DB8_201497_182247_leaf_sized.png trailer https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53921524e4b00b60ef13eff6/540cce8ee4b0387389f53dfd/540cdb02e4b06b4ddebdad59/1410128642698/E6B5FB3F7B_201497_181644_leaf_sized.png trailer https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53921524e4b00b60ef13eff6/540cce8ee4b0387389f53dfd/540cdb02e4b01f1007d29b67/1410128643117/EC7BC1AB41_201497_182320_leaf_sized.png trailer https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53921524e4b00b60ef13eff6/540cce8ee4b0387389f53dfd/540cdb02e4b01f1007d29b69/1410128643910/F67B152CEF_201497_182033_leaf_sized.png trailer https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53921524e4b00b60ef13eff6/540cce8ee4b0387389f53dfd/540cdb02e4b01f1007d29b61/1410128642099/87BB4BEDB3_201497_182127_leaf_sized.png trailer https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53921524e4b00b60ef13eff6/540cce8ee4b0387389f53dfd/540cdb02e4b01f1007d29b65/1410128642555/C7B1C4CF2E_201497_181834_leaf_sized.png trailer https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53921524e4b00b60ef13eff6/540cce8ee4b0387389f53dfd/540cdb02e4b06b4ddebdad57/1410128642432/BF4CB3B7CE_201497_18150_leaf_sized.png trailer https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53921524e4b00b60ef13eff6/540cce8ee4b0387389f53dfd/5419d0c3e4b06e634ce27e70/1410977987937/5416B7BCCC_2014917_14193_leaf_sized.png trailer https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53921524e4b00b60ef13eff6/540cce8ee4b0387389f53dfd/540cdb02e4b01f1007d29b63/1410128642507/B5DC1B32BB_201497_182210_leaf_sized.png trailer https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53921524e4b00b60ef13eff6/540cce8ee4b0387389f53dfd/540cdb02e4b06b4ddebdad5b/1410128642884/F6D2ADAF87_201497_181917_leaf_sized.png trailer http://www.cottonroadmovie.com/donate-and-support daily 0.75 2014-11-07 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53921524e4b00b60ef13eff6/t/539a2bcbe4b0b6fd17c1186f/1402612693622/IMG_0080.jpg Support the distribution of Cotton Road http://www.cottonroadmovie.com/donate-and-support/tian-mian-hua-2011-dvd monthly 0.5 2014-11-07 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53921524e4b00b60ef13eff6/53964d2ee4b0aa903a80eead/539b3d8ae4b06c371c3fa988/1402682770000/tan-mian-hua_web-small.jpg Support the distribution of Cotton Road -
