The average pair of jeans requires 42 liters of water to make. That’s 42 liters we could be conserving for our oceans, our drinking — and for those who don’t even have access to clean water.
To reduce its own impact, Levi’s launched Water<Less jeans in 2010, creating a line of denim that uses on average 28 percent less H20 (and in some cases, up to 96 percent). And the company is continuing that eco-friendly trend for spring, rolling out even more classic jeans and shorts created with the environment in mind — just in time for Earth Day.
“Water conservation and clean drinking water are global problems,” actor Adrian Grenier, who attended a dinner at the Levi’s Haus in Los Angeles recently in support of the initiative, tells PEOPLE. “A billion people around the world do not have access to clean drinking water and I support companies that are making responsible choices to address issues like this.”
