- c) External costs in T-shirt production According to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), it takes 2700 litres of water to produce one T-shirt. Water is used not only to grow cotton but also to dye clothing. Cotton growers use pesticides and chemicals that pollute the water. The pesticides and chemicals that remain in the environment harm animals and plant life. The WWF has been working with governments to help reduce this pollution. It advises them to introduce more regulation and to fine companies that pollute. Clothing manufacturers argue that this will add to their costs and mean they will supply less. This may mean they employ fewer people and will help reduce water pollution as less clothing is being manufactured. Fines will punish those that pollute while also earning the government revenue it can use to clean up the pollution. The fines must also be large enough to persuade firms to stop polluting.
