Sustainable Fashion
Today, the fashion industry is not sustainable. We are consuming natural resources and exploiting people in ways that will impact future generations and the resources we rely on. We have the power to change the way fashion is produced and consumed. While there are many sustainable initiatives, we should be aware there is no way to be 100% sustainable… yet.
As per Wikipedia
“Sustainable fashion is a movement and process of fostering change to fashion products and the fashion system towards greater ecological integrity and social justice. Sustainable fashion concerns more than just addressing fashion textiles or products. It comprises addressing the whole system of fashion. This means dealing with interdependent social, cultural, ecological and financial systems.
let’s clarify the term ‘sustainability” we have all heard this term at least once, it is getting popular on social media. There are many different views on this concept and how it can be recognized. The most common definition you will find online is given in 1987 by the United Nations / Brundtland Commission:
Sustainability simply means meeting our own needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. In addition to natural resources, we also need social and economic resources. The concept contains 3 spheres or pillars: economic, environmental, and social. They are also known informally as profits, planet, and people.
So, with that being said, sustainable living starts with the small things around you. Like reducing your demand for goods that are made from non-sustainable environmental practices. Living sustainably is about creating new healthy habits for you, your family, and your surroundings.
The right sustainable lifestyle and choice of products for you vary on where you are in the world and the nature of your lifestyle. Your core values, and beliefs.
