FAST FASHION THE GOBAL IMPACT














GOBAL PROBLEM= FAST FASHION.

Fashion is second most polluting industry in the world. Fast fashion is a major contributor to the world's clothing waste problem. Many of us give our old clothes to charity or drop them in a store take-back bin, but you might be surprised to learn most of it is sold and can end up in the landfill. The industry accounts for 20% of global waste water.  85% of textiles are disposed of instead of being recycled. To produce fabric, a lot of water is used for washing, dyeing, bleaching and cleaning the finished product. 


The waste water is contaminated with toxic chemicals and dye colors and this goes back into the sea affecting marine life Synthetic fabrics  life. . Synthetic fabrics are non – biodegradable. When we wash them in our washing machines, tiny pieces of microplastic fibers get washed into the ocean and our fish end up eating these plastic pieces. Washing clothes, meanwhile, releases 500,000 tons of microfibers into the ocean each year the equivalent of 50 billion plastic bottles, states . Textile recycling implies breaking down a garment into its base fibers, but in reality the process is unfeasible. Only one percent of textile waste is actually recycled. . The vast majority, however, is either burned, releasing carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and methane gas into the atmosphere, or thrown in landfills.


WHAT CAN WE DO?

1.Choose clothes made in countries with stricter environmental regulations for factories EU, Canada, US etc.

2.Choose organic fibers and natural fibers that do not require chemicals to be produced.

3.Buy less should think that buying new clothes will make us happy. Maybe we should reconsider some foundations of our lifestyle.

5. Worker's should given a living wage represents the bare minimum that a family requires to fulfil its basic needs

6.Buy clothes made in countries powered by more renewable energy.

7.Choose organic cotton. They are free of fertilizers and pesticides.

8.Choose fibers with low water consumption such as linen, recycle fibers

9. Advertisement should be done on sustainable fabric.

10. Workers should not work for long hours .

11. Buy good quality of clothes .

12. Think twice before buying you need or not .

13.Brands and store should collect old clothes and change into new .

    I guess the problem starts when we start focusing on ourselves more and start ignoring the global aspects. I hope people become more aware about their own role.
