I tried buying socks made with only natural or eco-friendly materials.
Fucking impossible. They all have at least a little bit of unfriendly material.
So what am I to do? Not wear socks anymore?
Not everything you buy has to be exceedingly sustainable, provided the product you choose is high quality and will therefore last a long time. It doesn’t matter if your socks aren’t 100% whatever sustainable material. As long as the ones you buy will last you a long time while still being comfortable, that will go a long way in helping the environment.
So at that point you said: I won't try anymore? How about at least try wherever you can. That's what people are saying. Not that you or anyone has to do everything 100 % perfect. That's not possible and everybody knows that.
No, I'm saying corporations run the show and "just don't buy it" isn't always a feasible solution.
