Your Favorite Fashion Brands Are Secretly Tied to Texas Fracking—Find Out Who's on the List!

Imagine your favorite fashion brands are secretly tangled in a web of Texas oil and gas fracking! A jaw-dropping report reveals that over 100 fashion companies are sourcing fossil-fuel-driven synthetic fibers, and guess what? Big names like Ralph Lauren, Puma, Levis Strauss & Co., and H&M are onboard this eco-hazard train! These brands` polyester clothing could be tied to fracking, thanks to the Fracked Fashion Map released by environmental group Stand.earth.

Even some of the biggest players like Inditex—yes, the parent company behind Zara and Bershka—are purchasing synthetic fibers by the truckload! Not to mention, Lululemon uses materials derived from fossil fuels in more than 72% of its products. Talk about a carbon footprint catastrophe!

Synthetic fibers are predicted to dominate 73% of global apparel production by 2030. That's despite the shocking reality that these fibers are boosting climate change and health risks. Stand.earth emphasizes the growing dependence on these materials by international fashion brands, and the consequent environmental and social toll of fracking.

Let’s not forget: the fashion industry is the world’s third-largest polluter. With emissions skyrocketing beyond those of international flights and shipping, it's time for a serious sustainability makeover in this industry! Are brands all talk and no action? Stand.earth’s tool links a Texas fracking network to apparel titans through detailed supply chain revelations—and it’s not a pretty picture.

Experts have been rallying for a sustainable revolution in fashion for ages, and this new map visualizes just how deep the fracking connection goes. With 27.8 gigatons of CO2 potential at stake, could this be the wake-up call the fashion world desperately needs?
