Requests:  0 Summary:  "Award-winning journalist Alden Wicker breaks open a story hiding in plain sight: 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"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 363.73849 Wi Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 363.73849 Wi Checked out 05/28/2024 Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.73849 Wi Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
