The Stakes OF INACTION

We need to talk about a big problem: fast fashion and how bad it is for the Earth. Making cheap, trendy clothes all the time is hurting our planet.

Indeed, fast fashion is bad for the environment for a few key reasons:

• First, it uses up resources:** Fabrics like cotton and fake fibers need tons of water, land, and fuel to make. For example, growing cotton uses massive amounts of water and often bad chemicals. Moreover, fake fabrics are made from oil, which causes pollution and doesn’t break down easily.
• Second, the manufacturing process generates a lot of pollution:** Coloring and treating fabrics creates a lot of dirty water. As a result, this water is released into our rivers and lakes it damages our living environment.
• Finally, it makes waste:** Fast fashion, in particular, makes us want to buy too many clothes that we don’t keep for long. Consequently, piles of old clothes end up in the trash. These clothes, in turn, take a long time to rot and make toxic gases. In addition, burning clothes also creates dirty air.

Moving forward what can we do next?

Brewed protein and other new fabrics are, indeed, good news for making fashion better. However, new materials are not the only answer. Instead, we need to change how we buy and use clothes. For example, we can:

• First, buy smarter: Buy less stuff. Then, pick good quality clothes that will last. Also, choose clothes that will stay in style for a long time.
• Second, help good brands: Buy from brands that are trying to be good to the planet and treat people fairly.
• Finally, reuse clothes: Swap clothes with friends. Buy used clothes. Fix clothes and make old clothes into new things. This, in turn, helps clothes last longer and makes less trash.

In summary, fashion can be both trendy and environmentally friendly. By adopting innovative materials like brewed protein and steering clear of fast fashion, we can enjoy clothing that’s both stylish and sustainable.
