A hoodie: carbon footprint

A hoodie comes in at about 19 kg CO₂e (one hoodie, made).

Of the 13 things to wear Carbonle tracks, A hoodie sits at #8 from the lightest — mid-pack.

This is what it costs to make the garment, before you wear it once. Cotton is thirsty, leather carries the cattle behind it, and a single new outfit can outweigh a week of driving — the case for wearing things longer.

Thick cotton fleece is fabric-heavy, so it climbs.
