THE TRUE COST

From crop tops to denim jackets and bombers fashion trends are making their way into wardrobes around the world faster than ever, thanks to social media.

For consumers, being trendy is now easier!low cost online retailers allow fashionistas to renew their wardrobes quickly.

But this comes at a significant ENVIROMENTAL cost..... 

One of the popular Fabric is polyester which is derived from fossil fuels that contribute to global warming.when the Fabric is put through a wash,it increases the level of plastic in the ocean as it can shed microfiber.

It takes about 2,000 gallons of water to produce a pair of jeans.that's more than enough for one person to drink eight cups per day for 10 years.

Yet another things that's wrong with fast fashion industry,is that it hurts soil, woodland and our entire ecosystem.

Chemical used in the production of Fabrics like cotton also degrade the soil. 

 what can be do??

1).Try to be creative.try to create different looks with your clothes.

2).Buy less,if possible go for sustainable brands. 

3).Practise minimalism you can also try 333 technique.

4).Try to invest into basic stuff so you can use them creating different looks.

    Yes this is indeed a very big issue for our environment and its high time now that we have to think about it. Fast fashion is causing a lot of effect on our environment which is just ignored by us just for maintaining the fashion trends.
