Climate change should be the most important issue for the whole world. Actions of today will build our future. When it comes to how we can do a positive thing in context of saving environment ‘sustainable fashion’ is considered one of them. Clothes which are good for environment, is talk of the town. Today when we buy clothes, we are more inclined towards fashion and sometimes buy cheap clothes.

The material used to make a dress is most important thing. We are on that stage of climate change that from each and every aspect of life we have to think how to save environment. We have to change the things which we are using to a better option which is environment friendly. Be it clothes, food, utensils. It’s important to behave responsibly and act wisely. The harm done to environment till now is very adverse and we have to adapt all the changes required in our lifestyle very positively to save environment.

Fast fashion is one of the highest polluting industries in the world, aside from oil and gas. By using cheap and dirty fabric, it is causing all kinds of pollution to our environment. The toxic chemicals in these type of fabric also cause negative effect to the planet and threatens our oceans.

Unlike ethical fashion, the term ‘ sustainable fashion’ tends to concentrate more on the environmental aspect of garment production. Fashion is responsible for 10 percent of human-caused greenhouse gas emissions and 20 percent global wastewater, and uses more energy than aviation and Shipping sector combined.If the demand for fast fashion continues to grow at its current rate, we could see the total carbon footprint of our clothing reach 26% by 2050!

Sustainable fashion brands create fashion in a way which is most considerate of humanity and the environment, reducing the environmental impact wherever possible. The ultimate goal is to have a system which works without leaving negative footprint. That is why sustainable fashion is good.

Sustainable fashion should be encouraged because it is synonymous with high quality and a superior product. Eco-friendly fabrics are softer, stronger and will last for years. In fact, sustainable clothing guarantees you won’t have to continue buying clothes all the time. Sustainable clothing has many benefits. Some being that it uses less water, it reduces toxic waste, it reduces the amount of pesticides released into the environment, and quality is higher.

Let’s buy clothes which are good for environment and for us also. Stop buying low grade, cheap clothes, say no to fast fashion.
