A Silent Spring for your wardrobe, To Dye For is a jolting exposé that reveals the true cost of the toxic, largely unregulated chemicals found on most clothing today.
Many of us are aware of the ethical minefield that is fast the dodgy labor practices, the lax environmental standards, and the mountains of waste piling up on the shores of developing countries. But have you stopped to consider the dangerous effects your clothes are having on your own health? Award-winning journalist Alden Wicker breaks open a story hiding in plain the unregulated toxic chemicals that are likely in your wardrobe right now, how they’re harming you, and what you can do about it.
In To Dye For, Wicker reveals how clothing manufacturers have successfully swept consumers’ concerns under the rug for more than 150 years, and why synthetic fashion and dyes made from fossil fuels are so deeply intertwined with the rise of autoimmune disease, infertility, asthma, eczema, and more. In fact, there’s little to no regulation of the clothes and textiles we wear each day—from uniforms to fast fashion, outdoor gear, and even the face masks that have become ubiquitous in recent years. Wicker explains how we got here, what the stakes are, and what all of us can do in the fight for a safe and healthy wardrobe for all.

Materialism of all kinds is ruining this world. Sad that so many rivers and land in Asia are heavily polluted with dye and chemical runoff so Western people can have clothes that overflow their closets.

I would guess most of these clothes are made in either India or China, which have no laws for safety protection. I try to stay away from those countries. But abb’s comment - he doesnt seem to realize that these same clothes are shipped to all developed countries in the world… how small minded some people are.

I just bought several pairs of REI hiking pants treated w PFAS chemicals. And I only found one kitchen apron for sale on Amazon without a PFAS treatment for stain & water resistance. I heard the author on the radio, and the extent that such chemicals are used is really alarming

skay, we probably listened to the same radio interview and that’s how I knew about this book. It’s appalling what I’ve learned from this book.
BTW REI has a nice return policy. I’m deeply regretted spending so much money at REI over the years >__<
