Fast Fashion. By Lumi Tarhala.

 

FAST FASHION IS A GLOBAL PROBLEM

Fast fashion is a serious issue that affects many aspects of our world and that we need to fix. One way to further the process of fixing it is by choosing to not buy clothing from fast fashion companies. However, many problems assigned to fast fashion are true for “responsible” clothing brands as well. So, the best that an individual can do for the planet is to simply buy less clothing.

We don’t need as many new clothes as we think we do, and the most responsible clothes are the ones already in your closet. Other people know that washing machines exist; it’s not embarrassing to show up to two events in the same getup. If you really need something, check your closest second-hand or recycling shop for the item, or for something similar. It takes more effort, but making the right choice for the planet makes it worth it.
