Levi’s CEO Urges You to Stop Washing Jeans

levisFor the love of all that is environmental please stop washing your jeans. You’re trashing our planet with your constant jeans cleaning.

Below at 9:50 (ish) you can see CEO Chip Bergh say that to be environmentally sustainable you can simply stop washing your jeans. The total water usage in the lifecycle of a pair of Levi’s is about 50% before you get them, in manufacturing, and 50% you washing them. So just stop.

If you must you can spot clean them with a cloth or toothbrush and maybe some detergent and then air dry them, according to unnamed blue jeans aficionados.

Levi’s also sells a waterless product to cut out the other 50%. But only if you like the acid washed look.
