fast fashion vs conscious consumerism : imperfect sustainability series ep.3

Welcome back to this mini series on imperfect sustainability!! My aim for this series is to inspire you to view sustainability in a more positive light and to help you to genuinely make a difference in your own life. Let's tackle this with a non-judgemental, solutions-driven attitude and lift each other up rather than tearing each other down.

Episode 3: fast fashion vs conscious consumerism

"The most sustainable clothes you can wear are those that are already in your wardrobe."

Fast fashion is a complex and confusing topic to navigate, with so many considerations and nuances to be made. Fashion might seem harmless, but it's actually a hugely polluting industry; manufacturing clothes has a huge water consumption and creates huge amounts of CO2 emissions through transportation and in the factories. There's also a copious amount of waste involved - 12.8 million tons of clothing that end up in landfills every year in the US.

Sustainable fashion is far from perfect at the moment but I think through shifting attitudes, being more mindful about how much and where we shop and considering 'do I love this item' before buying, we can start reducing the harmful effects fashion is having on the planet.
