How fast fashion is affecting the environment is a very serious topic since this type of consumerism in the United States is heavy on supply and demand, and because of that shoppers want it all and want it now which is basically fast fashions motto. The way to make these pieces of clothing heavily rely on cheap materials that can be made quickly, so that is polyester and cotton being made in big factories that emit out toxins into our earth. Cotton being one of the most used fabrics takes a lot to be made into a single garment. Uzbekistan which is the 6th biggest producer of cotton had faced many conflicts during production since cotton uses so much water to be made it has dried up the 4th largest lake the Aral Sea because of how much we need to produce cotton fashion. (Prospectjournalucsd) Buying these cheap garments that become unwearable after 5 times (Forbes) of wearing it usually gets thrown out after and producing more waste that gets put into our waterways since theses garments shed easy and through washing them can “find their way into oceans and on the shores everywhere.” (Sweeny) So with the help of shoppers, being able to cut down on the purchase of fast fashion can help aid in keeping the ecosystem in order.

Main Point 1: According to Richard Fuller, a system theorist, “Pollution is nothing but the resources we are not harvesting. We allow them to disperse because we've been ignorant of their value.”written on

Many students do not feel comfortable using the washers and dryers because there are many things that could happen to their laundry like it could be stolen by other students. After using the washers and dryers on campus, I will not use them again because it was not a great experience. I know what washers and dryers are supposed to do because I do my own laundry at home, and the washers and dryers on campus do not do what they are supposed to do. Until the quality of the washers and dryers improves on campus, they will continue to be a negative aspect for students who live on campus at Georgia Southwestern State University because they do not make campus life

In the book, Overdressed: The Shockingly High Cost of Cheap Fashion, Elizabeth Cline, a journalist and the author, writes about the lack of ability of disposal we currently possess for the massive amounts of textile waste. She wrote, “The rate of disposal is not keeping up with the availability of places to put everything that we're getting rid of and that's the problem." Millions of tons of textile waste are generated globally per year. There are many efforts to cut down the amount of waste by recycling, shredding, and exporting to developing nations. According to the United Nations, The US is the leading exporter of second-hand clothes. Very poor nations like India benefit greatly from imported second-hand clothing. These methods to cut back on textile waste are proven to work, but they don’t solve the problem, they just lessen it. Part of the problem with fast fashion and textile waste is that many of the clothes being mass produced are made out of cheap petroleum-based fibers. H&M received a lot of backlash for this, spurring them to release a more eco-friendly line of clothing, using organic cotton.

Ultimately, my goal is to accomplish an innovative way to recycle my former clothing, become more environmentally friendly, and save money. My aim is to have a complete product by the end of the year. I plan to conduct the project at the comfort of my home. I wish to reduce my ecological footprint because it is vital that humans should be as sustainable as possible to keep the world running. I perceive this as a wise investment; this way I can invest by not consistently buying from expensive stores or brands that approve immoral practices, in example, child labor. I hope that I gain a greater appreciation for the world and the privileges it has given me.

EcoSpun was started by the company Wellman Inc. and it completely changed how we view fabrics. These fabrics blend with other materials like cotton to make the product soft to the touch. Patagonia adopted this process to make recycled material that would help the environmental issues and make a really cool product. Yvon Chouinard founder of Patagonia is committed to making a change with pollution and to still have outerwear products that will last someone for many years. Chouinard and his team worked with Malden Mills to make the polyester out of recyclable bottles. There are billions of plastic bottles and they are harmful to the environment, Patagonia, as well as other companies, are taking them into make materials. As Chouinard company was helping with the environmental crisis and letting out millions of chemicals, he decided there had to be a change. His next steps are to find new recyclable fabrics as well as finding other ways to recycle polyester. Also, they are working to receive old Patagonia’s product to re-made into a fiber or other forms of

The fact that it is possible to treat the clothes for them to simply not be able to receive dirt is eco friendly on long term because that means we wouldn’t need to wash the clothes as much but then those same clothes cannot be recycled and that is not eco friendly––Is it better to keep clothes as they are and waste more energy or to treat them but not recycle them after use? It is a dilemma.

Recently Adidas have launched waterless dying technology known as DryDye technology. This technology instead of consuming 25 litters of water necessary to dye one t-shirt, the DryDye technology uses none–instead, the dye is injected using compressed carbon dioxide. The result is a garment using not only 50 percent less chemicals and energy, but in the long run has a lower environmental impact because the CO2-based dye actually lingers in the fabric longer. This concept helps in reduction of consumption of water in dying process.

The environment. It provides us with so much but we don’t care. It provides us with oxygen, medicine, leisure and protection but we don’t care. We destroy as much of the environment as we feel like and nobody cares. Nobody wants it to be their problem. Politicians ignore the problem and the public believe that it’s the politicians’ problem when really it is down to both the public and politicians to change. As grade twelves we believe that the problem isn’t ours, that it is for someone else to fix but there is so much that we can change about our everyday lifestyle that can help improve and care for the environment around us.

Generations ahead of us only had a tiny wardrobe, where clothes were not washed every day. In our generation, fast fashion is in. It’s ok to have multiple shirts or shoes of the same color. It’s actually ok to throw away unwanted apparel. Apparel companies are beginning to focus on sustainable fashion, also known as eco fashion. Apparel, fashion, and textiles is the most polluting industry in the world. Every stage, that a garment goes through, uses up and threatens our resources.
