Protecting our communities (and our wallets)

# {NAME}, Being an environmentalist doesn’t mean you have to drive a Tesla. It can be boiled down to a core principle: use less and be a good steward of your stuff. That’s true when it comes to natural resources, or even something as simple as your clothes. But {NAME}, that’s easier said than done. Big players in the fast fashion industry churn out cheap, disposable goods to pollute our planet, exploit workers, and shortchange consumers – and it’s time they’re held accountable. I helped launch the Slow Fashion Caucus to do just that. We’re working to rein in toxic pollution, support American manufacturing, and help working families – because this is the kind of environmental stewardship that helps everyone. [If you agree that Congress should pass climate-smart policies that support the middle class and local producers instead of big corporations, add your name here.]( [SIGN ON]( Holding the textile industry accountable benefits all of us – whether it’s protecting our children from toxic chemicals, defending salmon habitats from microplastic pollution, bringing manufacturing jobs home, or helping middle class families save their hard-earned money. These are the kinds of practical, multi-faceted solutions I’m fighting for in Congress, {NAME}.
