Today, the fashion industry has acquired an amazing scale and occupies a very important place in the life of every financially secure person. For a long time, clothing has ceased to be an object of protection from the weather or a cover for nudity. Designers, marketing departments, and salespeople do their best to ensure that the client regularly buys as many things as possible. What this leads to: exorbitant costs of water, energy resources of the Earth (which are vitally lacking in other regions of the Planet), carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere during the production and delivery of new clothes, the use of toxins, an increase in landfills and environmental pollution. Of course, we will not convince you that appearance is not so important - for many in the modern world, this may sound absurd and fanatical. We offer everyone only to reconsider the process of forming their own image and approach it with respect for the environment and the development of creativity.
You should start by giving up the habit of buying more and more new things. A more correct step would be to evaluate the existing wardrobe. Think about what things could be an alternative to new ones, and what things could be improved with new decorative elements, a change in cut or even look, etc. So you can become the owner of an individual outfit and discover your new talents. Also try to buy better quality natural things that will last you much longer. If, nevertheless, you decide to give up some item of clothing, do not throw it in the trash, but give it to those in need, exchange it in a second-hand store or in special markets (free markets). Vintage style is very stylish and eco-friendly. Some cities also have clothing collection points for recycling - find out about them. Another factor worth paying attention to is the variability of fashion: what is in fashion today will become trendy again in a couple of years.
Get rid of the one-time habit in your consumption - cultivate constancy and respect for everything. And our world will soon be able to change!
