What can I realistically do when it comes to clothing material composition? (thelemmy.club)

I care about my health and sustainability. General advice is to check clothing labels, and I won't buy underwear or whatever that has a large percentage of polyester. But they can just make it up and there isn't recourse. Can't sue em and I don't have access to a lab that can analyze the composition. So how would one know?

It only works in the US, so I never used it. I do listen to their podcast (Second Nature) and really enjoy it. It's all about trying to do your best to be an ethical consumer n a deeply unethical world.

It is very vo fusing in the beginning, especially with all the green washing. But I do promise that like exercising, it gets easier the more you do it.

Also like I said the B Corp certification is a good shortcut for a first pass in verifying companies. With the caveat that not every ethical company is B Corp, and that I disagree with some of their selections. I tend to look for companies with at least 100 score.
