From reducing waste to supporting ethical production, dressing responsibly can make a significant difference in our environmental footprint.
Dressing responsibly can force textile product makers to adopt responsible manufacturing and marketing practices. This is essential to prevent further environmental degradation of this planet as the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE, 2018), revealed that fashion production accounts for 10 percent of global carbon emissions and contributes to water pollution. According to the UNECE 85 percent of textiles end up in landfills each year. Later the United Nations Environment Programme in its 2019 report (UNEP) highlighted that around 60 o percent of fashion materials are made from plastic.
Dressing responsibly gives consumers the power to shape a more sustainable future.
This is an era where conscious choices are gaining momentum. This is the reason that sustainable fashion has become a powerful movement that merges style with ethics. Concerned environmentalists have urged consumers to embrace the concept of dressing responsibly and making fashion choices that are kind to both the planet and the people.
Whether it’s spring, summer, fall, or winter, sustainable fashion can be seamlessly incorporated into every season of the year.
There is an urgent need for sustainable practices and ethical choices in the fashion industry.
Consumers particularly Gen Z must promote responsible fashion, to mitigate the environmental impact and strive towards a more sustainable future. They should explore eco-friendly materials to ethical style choices, which makes a wardrobe sustainable, ensuring that fashion choices align with their values.
