In a world where the fashion industry plays a significant role in environmental issues, Goat Organic Apparel, in collaboration with the creative minds at Lemon Scented Tea, unveils a thought-provoking Christmas gift: Global Warming Socks. But why socks wrapped in water, and what’s the connection between socks and climate change?
The Wet-Sockpocalypse Warning: A Wake-Up Call
The campaign’s message hits close to home for anyone who’s ever experienced the discomfort of wet socks. The water-wrapped socks are not a manufacturing error but a visual representation of a foreboding future – the ‘wet-sockpocalypse’ predicted for 2050. The fashion industry, responsible for 4% of global greenhouse gas emissions, contributes significantly to climate change. The production of a single garment consumes substantial energy and water, contributing to global warming and the eventual rise in sea levels.
Lavinia Bakker, founder and owner of Goat Organic Apparel, questions the sustainability of our clothing choices, stating, “Why are we still buying poorly made clothes that contribute to global warming? If we continue like this, wet socks might become a reality in 2050.”
Global Warming Sucks. Eh, Socks: A Call to Action
To address this environmental challenge, Goat launches the Global Warming Sucks. Eh, socks. These plain white sports socks, made from sustainable, organic cotton, offer an affordable and eco-friendly alternative. Tim ten Dam, creative director at Lemon Scented Tea, emphasizes the importance of raising awareness about the fashion industry’s impact: “It’s a first step towards avoiding the wet-sockpocalypse.”
Wear the Movement: Advocacy Through Apparel
The collaboration between Lemon Scented Tea and Goat is not new. Their joint effort previously gave rise to the ‘Proudly made in Bangladesh’ campaign under the overarching concept – Wear the Movement. This initiative aims to create awareness about the fashion industry’s challenges through Goat’s sustainable garments.
Goat Organic Apparel’s Ethical Approach
Driven by their ethical standard and PPP promise (Planet Friendly, People First, and Pricing), Goat produces clothing more sustainably, making it better for both people and the planet. The brand provides an opportunity for individuals to wear quality clothing without compromising on ethical and environmental values.

As the holiday season approaches, Goat’s Global Warming Sucks. Eh, socks make for a unique and impactful gift. These socks, with a purpose beyond mere comfort, are available on the Goat website. Embrace sustainability, spread awareness, and contribute to the movement by donning these symbolic socks.
In a world where every choice matters, Goat Organic Apparel and Lemon Scented Tea encourage you to be part of the solution and wear the movement against climate change.
