If you watched even a little bit of this video, you probably already know this, but we made some Climate Town t-shirts! And honestly, watch the video if you want to know more about them, but here’s the link if you might want to consider buying one (US/Canada shipping only): merch.climatetownproductions....
And yes we still have a Patreon, except now it’s new and improved with a ton of actually good perks. Support from our Patrons allows us to make videos like the one you probably just watched, and you can check out the options here: / climatetown
We also have a podcast! It’s called The Climate Denier’s Playbook and you can listen to it right here: linktr.ee/deniersplaybook
And good lord we have a newsletter too! You can check it out here:

EPISODE SOURCES & CITATIONS: www.climatetownproductions.co...
A big thank you to Ethix Merch, who guided us through this process, and also runs our merch store for us. If you want sustainable and ethical merch for your company or 5K, you should really check them out: ethixmerch.com/
Quick note on the envelope - due to emissions analysis, Ethix is currently using a 100% recycled plastic shipper rather than a recycled cardboard shipper (explained here on their website: www.ecoenclose.com/blog/paper.... We're moving to a waterproof paper shipper shortly.
And another big thank you to TS Designs (Eric, Lydia, and the whole team) for creating shirts we’re proud to have Climate Town printed on. If you’ve been printing Climate Town on other shirts, please stop. And if you’re looking for shirts that don’t bork the environment too hard, made by people who get paid a living wage, check out TS Designs: tsdesigns.com/
Oh and that beautiful art on the shirts? Both designs are made by Margalit Cutler, a fantastic artist whose work you can see on their website: www.margalitcutler.com/
Special thanks to Jillian Clark (Roboro) for helping us review this episode.
And another special thanks to Walking Softer for their support on this episode.
And also special thanks to 10 ft Single by Stella Dallas, for letting us film in their beautiful vintage clothing store.
And now here’s a short and incomplete list of places you could look at for help finding more sustainable and ethical clothing:

(Not very) Supreme. More-ripped Levis for twice the price. Designer labels on incredibly thin and delicate clothes not made for repeated wearing or washing or tumble drying or anything but static display. These are a few of my least favourite things. That and the mall dumpsters, plus obligatory destruction photos. Tell me again how capital is lifting all the boats. It's a tide of garbage, isn't it?

Unfortunately alot of the clothes made now are essentially designed to self destruct within that time. Either the fabric will develop holes and tear or they purposely pick a bad thread which wont hold up. You get more life out of them by not using a drier and a few other things but yeah. Meanwhile clothes from some years back can only now be falling apart but my grandmother has things from when I was born or older (as well as her old clothes and my moms that are mine now) that pretty much look the same as when they were bought and held up fantastically. Its another benifit from thrifting or buying second hand. Much of the older stuff you find is going to be of better quaulity then what you would buy new.

Bespoke means its made totally custom for you...! So If you came to me for a suit, I would take every measurement of your body, look at how you stand, how you walk, any unevenness in your body. Then we would discuss what you want, I actually make historical suits 1890 to 1940, but within that range, you can choose anything you want, we will choose the fabric and it will be made by hand, mostly hand-stitched, then there will be a fitting to make sure I have got it right and then I will finish it. It will be the only one in the world and it will be what you want down to the colour of the buttons. I will also tell yo what NOT to buy, things that will go out of fashion, fabrics that wont lost a long time, etc etc If you put on weight there is additional fabric hidden inside so you can have it altered to make it bigger up to about 4 inches 100mm It takes me about 150 to 250 hours and will cost you about €5,000 on the other hand it will last you 25 to 50 years of regular wear

One of the worst things about clothes being garbage is that finding quality clothes is becoming increasingly difficult and expensive as they're increasingly rare and limited compared to the volume of junk. It's equally frustrating when quality clothes have plastics mixed into them so it's impossible to even find clothes made of pure wool, cotton, silk, etc. Of course I still try, and thrift stores are among the best for cheap and quality clothes made of natural fibers, but it's still really difficult to get good quality clothing.

Yes! Even $100+ “wool” coats that look promising will sometimes only contain 3% wool in them. I’m broke but I don’t want to buy crap clothing or furniture. It feels impossible, so I just started repairing what I currently own. My flannels get stitched up, and my leather jacket went into a leather repair shop for patches to repair the giant tear my cat made in it in favor of buying a new one. If I’m lucky I’ll get another decade out of it.

I feel like one of the best ways to make merch have a longer lifespan is having it not super explicitly branded. Like just a vaguely themed design that passes as just a cool tee shirt. That way even if the owner doesn’t watch the RU-vidr anymore it’s still a cool tee. And then if it ends up in a thrift store someone who doesn’t know it’s merch will just think it looks nice and wear it unknowingly

I'm surprised you didn't mention the sports team championship merch waste. When a team wins the Superbowl (or some other important game) thousands of hats and t-shirts appear with the winner's logos on it while the confetti still rains down on the crowd. Which means they printed winning merch for BOTH TEAMS and the losing team's merch goes straight to the landfill. Thousands of units, with the sole purpose of becoming garbage. Unreal.

I used to work at a printing company here in the U.S. - on the side of the process where we don't use slave labor. We were the ones that put the graphics on the shirts we shipped in from china. Within the three years I worked there, the entire customer service department was fired for fraud/sleeping with each other (their positions were left unfilled to save costs), a coworker was murdered at work by another coworker, and I can only start to explain the corrupt behavior of the owner and the racism toward our out-of-country contractors who were paid a fraction of our own low wages. All of the companies in the region that say they make shirts - those shirts were really made by us. All of those t-shirt companies were really just middle men. And this was the second printing company I worked for. The first one paid even less for even more work, and this was before they laid off most of the company when Trump put tariffs on chinese imports, because the business relied so heavily on junk that cost pennies to get. The whole industry is disgusting and they do a lot to obfuscate it. If you order a t-shirt with a custom graphic on it for yourself or a business, it goes through at least five middle men that has way more human cost than anyone should feel comfortable with.

Fast fashion will always remain a mystery to me.

Just screams brainless consumerism. To clarify, my problem is less with the cheap price of clothing but rather the disposability some people treat them with. Even the cheapest T-Shirt should last you at least a year or two before it's worn out, letalone things like jeans or jackets.

Suggestion for climate friendly merch from a diy musician: me and my friends often design our own blockprints/screen prints and then print on clothes donated or from the goodwill bins. Takes a bit of work but the material cost is next to nothing and ppl who like ur music have the opportunity to get a totally unique piece of merch that they are more likely to wear because it isnt just a stock t shirt. Obviously this wont work for everyone and is hard to scale but i wish i saw more ppl doing it. Ive also seen musicians selling cigarettes with the band name printed on them, jewelry and accessories that they designed and made themselves, pins, collages. Lots of climate friendly pptions

Two years ago I saved up for 6 months in order to buy one sweater. It was 100% wool and every step of production was done in Ireland. From the sheep herding to sowing on the tags and shipping it over. The quality is superb, it cost a lot of money so it took some effort to be able to afford it. But it is still my favorite sweater! The whole story of this sweater makes it meaningful to me. And luckily it still looks like it's brand new, because I take good care of it. My main regret is that it is very hard to find clothes like that... but you are right, it is worth the effort to invest in the companies that are doing things right or are solidly heading in the right direction.

Still have a few from the early 00s as well, though they're getting a tad ragged.

Imagine my surprise when I learned that even if something is stamped with a “Made in USA” mark, it still can be slave labour! I didn’t know about prison labour at all. I ended up buying Patagonia boots :( I’m trying to knit my own clothes but it’s going really slowly. So far I have one tank top, one cardigan and a few pairs of socks.

Man, I hate the "high end brands use these factories too!" narrative. 1. Most high end brands have lower end offshoots, like outlets. It's very common for higher end brands to have entirely different supply chains for things like outlet stores, off-price merchandise (TJ Maxx) etc. The Ralph Lauren you get at the Polo store may well not be the same Ralph Lauren you get at Ross. 2. It's very rare for brands to own all of their production facilities outright. Most apparel manufacturers also subcontract to other factories. Most brands have very little control over this. 3. If you're buying higher end clothing, and not just a stupid tee shirt that says "Gucci" on it, there's a good chance that it's ethically made. Quality usually speaks for itself. Highly skilled labor costs more. If you buy an $80 from Target there's zero chance that it's ethically made. Buying better is always the right option, and not something to shit on. That's like saying, "Climate change is inevitable so you may as well burn tires." *If you buy clothes for less than a Macy's price point, there is absolutely zero chance they're even remotely ethically or sustainably made. Period.* The better the quality though, the more likely it is that someone made a decent wage making that garment.

It's a pun of a compound word. Landfill is not a portmanteau, because it isn't two words combined. Rather, it's two words compounded - a compound word - like doghouse or firetruck. Compare words like doghouse, firetruck, and landfill (where those 3 could be broken apart into 6 smaller words) against a word like "disapressed" pulling "dis" from "disappointed" and "pressed" from "depressed" (or 'brunch' or whatever else you may prefer). So in the end, I think you could reasonably argue it's either (1) its own new compound word ("brand" + "fill"), where you could argue that the path towards similarity with "landfill" was some kind of convergent evolution, or (2) it's a pun of "landfill." Since the originators are obviously making a reference to landfills, as opposed to coincidentally stumbling upon a similar word in parallel, I'm inclined to say #2.

It's wild to me that you even have to ask that question. I bought like 6 plain black T-shirts like 6 years ago or so and that's practically all I have worn since. I will replace them when they are no longer presentable and I will likely do so with another order of plain black T-shirts which will hopefully last another decade before I need to do so again. I can't imagine even considering a purchase that I expected to wear less than 50 times. I purchase everything I own with the optimism that it will last me my entire life, but the pragmatism that it may let me down and need to be replaced. I would absolutely not purchase something that I knew upfront I would not want for my entire life.

I'm 40 and I still have the same belt I bought in high school. Why do people throw their money away if their clothes are still good?

The first belt I bought with my own earning broke recently I was 50. I bought 2 and gave one away to a kid using a rope for a belt. 8 was at the urinal at a pub and this 5 year old boy couldn't tie a knot properly, so I took off my belt gave it to him, when upstairs to the room I was staying in got the other black leather belt, yes I bought 2. The parents tried to return it and I said no, I already got my spare. Kid thought it I was awesome. Man those parents were poor.

Because nothing is made well anymore. You probably paid a reasonable price for the belt you bought in high school. That's not possible for an actually good belt anymore.

@@Yosef9438 Nah that's nonsense. Everything I buy lasts years. I buy cheap chinese crap off of amazon. I'm not shilling out big bucks for quality. It doesn't just dissolve on you. Treat your shit with respect.

​​@@Yosef9438My *leather* belts kept wearing out in 6 months. Back in 2016 I found a pattern to make one out of paracord using a simple jig. Spent an evening or so on it, finished the belt, and I've worn it not days since 2016. Its in almost perfect condition still. I'll be wearing it for many more years. Yes, its plastic. You could make it from a cotton rope too though.

Love this topic. I hate cheap merch/swag. Stop making trash. A quote I heard long time ago: The original meaning of materialism means a love of things, meaning people treasure the things they own they try to maintain it, repair it, keep it as long as possible. Now, the meaning of materialism means consume consume consume.

Bruh you honestly got me with the AI fakeout. As an illustrator, I was like “you’ve gotta be fuckin’ kidding me, not Climate Town too!” Thank you for supporting actual artists and being transparent about your ethical decisions. Keep being amazing

Yeah, that was so strange, I immediately started feeling angry. Happy to have been faked-out, versus being disappointed that a channel that brings so much good information to people could advocate for generative AI garbage. Thank you, Rollie and crew, for being mindful of the impacts of such decisions..

Good info. I always ask people that discuss this topic if they know of some way to buy locally made clothes but they never have an answer. Thanks for this. Last bought three pairs of pants and a couple shirts in 2019, and only because the previous ones were falling apart. So might be a while before I need more.

what i find amazing is that you have never done a video on the ecological impact of war, which given the current state of world affairs is more than timely. i hope you will consider doing such. thanks for listening. and great work.

If I use a package forwarding service to get one of those shipped to Europe, we will get right back on track to cooking the planet again. 😅
