Jeans are notoriously resource-expensive to produce. But if you just must replace a pair, consider investing in this “Slim Straight Jean” style from Nau, a Portland, Oregon, company that factors in the true cost of making clothing. (That is, you pay a bit more to ensure that your duds were ethically produced.) These untreated denim pants look and feel as stylish and durable as their nonorganic counterparts (ahem, Gap), with a bit of stretch. The difference is that these are made with 100% organic cotton, are fully recyclable, and 2% of your purchase price goes to a charity you choose. $180
