400;\"><strong>What is fast fashion?<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fast fashion describes a design, manufacturing and marketing method that is focused on rapidly producing high volumes of clothing. To bring bargains to the end consumer, it combines trend replication with low-quality materials. This has resulted in an industry-wide movement towards overwhelming amounts of consumption which has negative impacts not only on the environment, but also on workers, animals and ultimately our wallets.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>How bad is Fast Fashion really?<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ever since clothing is made in a rushed manner and brands started selling severely low-quality merchandise, there isn\u2019t enough time left for quality control. But what does that mean? I\u2019m pretty sure that most of you have at least once bought a piece of clothing, worn it twice and then had to throw it away because it ripped, the colour was fading, or it shrunk in the washer. So, the lack of quality control means that clothes aren\u2019t sustainable anymore \u2013 often, you can\u2019t wear them for more than one season.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Ellen Macarthur Foundation, a partner of the UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme), estimated that every single second an entire truckload of abandoned textiles is dumped in landfills or incinerated \u2013 shocking, right? But again, the question comes to mind \u2013 what does this lead to? Well, the plastic fibres in clothing pollute the ocean, the amount of water that is wasted is unbelievable (did you know that it takes an incredible amount of 8000 litres to produce a single pair of jeans?) and not to mention the toxic dyes or the exploitation of underpaid workers. And the list goes on\u2026 here are some numbers:<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p><ul><li>second-biggest consumer of water (the production of a single pair of jeans takes up an astounding amount of 8000 litres of water!)<\/li><li>responsible for 10% of total global carbon emissions (that is more than all international flights and maritime shipping combined, or equal to the emissions of the entire European Union)<\/li><li>85% of all textiles go to dumps each clear<\/li><li>washing clothes releases 500000 tons of microfibres into the ocean each year (equivalent to 50 BILLION plastic bottles)<\/li><\/ul><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, I think we have established that Fast Fashion truly has a harmful impact on our environment.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>What can we do?<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reducing the fashion industry\u2019s carbon footprint is key to limiting global warming. So, let\u2019s talk more about what we personally can do and focus less on what should change in the industry.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A starting point if you don\u2019t want to move away from brands like Zara and H&amp;M would be buying their \u201ceco collections\u201d which use organic and recycled materials \u2013 for instance H&amp;M Conscious or Zara Join Life. But sadly, this doesn\u2019t really solve the problem of overconsumption \u2013 it rather is a form of greenwashing.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to have a greater impact, you could opt for second-hand clothing \u2013 or at least second-hand jewellery, sunglasses, or bags. If you don\u2019t want to renounce online shopping, you could try eBay or Facebook Marketplace.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another option would be renting your clothes. If you need a suit for a special event \u2013 but only for that single special event \u2013 instead of buying one, just rent one!<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The last option I would like to mention is simply buying less clothes, which is also the most effective solution. Buying a maximum of 8 new items a year could reduce fashion\u2019s emissions by an astounding 37% in the world\u2019s major city \u2013 according to the Leeds University and Arup.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, to come to an end, I think we can all agree that Fast Fashion is something that shouldn\u2019t be supported in any way, shape or form \u2013 so let\u2019s try to avoid it at all costs.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>For more Sustainability Tips, Fun Facts, and fun little Riddles \u2013 follow us on our Social Media channels!<\/em><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blog Post #1 The impact monocultures have on our environment What are monocultures?
