A two-session investigation of one's own wardrobe: count what you own and how often it's worn; take your most- and least-worn pieces and research their materials, brands, and countries of origin; map the origins with a free online tool; and study the Clean Clothes Campaign's problems and proposals. Consumption habits met with evidence instead of resolutions.
Hold with care
