We only have 10 years left before the climate catastrophe becomes irreversible. So we need to act now to make major changes to the way we live our lives to create a greener world.
其中一个方法是通过环保时尚。Fast fashion is devastating to the environment. Every stage of production causes damage. Growing cotton for a $5 t-shirt, to mass-producing it in dangerous conditions, to shipping it halfway across to the world to the 50 years it’ll stay in a landfill. All of these aspects damage the planet.
但Eco友好是解决方案,它很容易遵循。这是如何将它添加到您的生活中。
Buy Less
First, don’t buy so much! Every month you can make your clothes last longer also makes them eco-friendly. You should try to wear your clothes until they become unwearable – not out of style.
Buying new clothes creates a need to produce new clothes, which keeps the fast fashion cycle in business. Instead of buying for each new season or trend, focus on creating a capsule wardrobe full of practical, fashionable, timeless pieces you love.
Make Your Clothes Last
你可以戴上衣服的时间越长,他们就越环保了。所以好好照顾他们!
It’s time to go back to the old days where you had office clothes, work clothes, chore clothes, and day-time clothes. This way you can keep your nice clothes nice for longer, and don’t have to buy new things to replace your poorly treated clothes.
这也是学习照顾衣服的好时机。现在是时候破译了所有这些护理标签符号的意思,并学习如何洗衣服以保护它们并使它们持续更长时间。
最重要的是,了解如何在衣服中修补次要问题。将一个新的按钮缝制在一对牛仔裤上,比扔全双人更友好!
And once your clothes are completely worn out, see if you can repurpose them around your home in other ways. For example, an eco-friendly t-shirt might go from a thrift store to your day outfit to your PJ shirt to a cleaning cloth. This way you get the most out of your clothes.
好好照顾你的衣服对世界有益,而且对你的钱包有好处。
买二手
也许时尚是你最喜欢的爱好或购物之一是你喜欢和朋友一起度过周末的方式。那没关系,它不必停下来!但而不是购物brands like H&M, bounce around your local thrift stores.
Shopping at thrift stores is cheaper and every trip is like a treasure hunt, you never know what you’re going to find. But it’s also much more eco-friendly, since you’re not creating a demand for new things, and you’re keeping old things out of the landfill much longer.
你对时尚和购物爱好的热爱不必只停止因为你想要让世界变得更美好的地方。继续购物,只需切换到购买事物的二手。
从良好品牌购买
无论内衣,胸罩,袜子或鞋子,还有一些东西你可能想买新的东西。那也没关系!只是做你对品牌的研究。
很多公司正在努力创造有价值的可持续产品,使世界成为一个更好的地方。而不是将你的钱倾倒在中国的任何旧工厂,确保你获得新事物的钱很好。
有很多东西可以商店生态友好的鞋子, underwear, bras, and more. Research the company and read online reviews. When you do, you’ll know you’ve made a decision you can stand behind.
注意面料
这比其他提示不那么重要,但你也可能知道它。一些携带衣服的材料并不像其他人一样生态友好,可能会让你感到惊讶,因为你的困难最为困难。
例如,棉花是一种自然的成分,它一直存在,所以它必须是好的!不完全是。棉花使用大量的水,需要大量的农药和肥料。有更好的解决方案,甚至是合成的解决方案!
Linen, hemp, bamboo, and even alpaca wool are much more environmentally friendly and sustainable choices to create the clothes you wear. Just because it’s made of alpaca wool still doesn’t mean you should get it.
Like we touched on earlier, there’s a lot that goes into making your clothes that have a huge impact on your clothes.
如果您的羊毛羊毛毛衣是由秘鲁的羊驼制成但在中国制造的,那么羊毛必须从秘鲁发货到中国,并回到您身上。运输碳排放是一个主要问题。
您可以从开始完成的衣服越多,带来环境的影响。
环保时尚不一定很难
切换到环保时尚并没有太多。购买更少的东西,让他们持续更长时间。购买二手而不是新的,当您购买新的时,请确保您支持一个良好的品牌,专注于使世界成为更好的地方。
