Fast Fashion: An Unexpectedly Hazardous Industry to Our Worldly Environment What is actually fast fashion? Fast fashion is a business that focuses on selling a large amount of clothing at cheap prices. Throughout the production process of each piece of garment, more often than not, it inevitably and adversely affects human health and the environment as a whole. There is a great number of research which indicate that it has a widely negative impact on the environment and natural resources. Production of both natural and synthetic fibers in the production of drinking waters and pesticides is considered the main and fundamental issue which harms the environment and wildlife. While the dyeing and finishing process of clothing is implemented, there is a great amount of sewage left after the production process. If the sewage and hazardous chemicals are not handled properly before being released into the river, they can potentially cause the accumulation of heavy metals and other toxins that may greatly affect the health of humans and animals, especially aquatic ones. What can we all do to help mitigate the problem? Consumers in high-income countries are considered as an important group in supporting companies with operations that can reduce their impact on humans and the environment. To uplift and encourage the clothing industry standard, consumers must be aware of being environmentally friendly and should strictly value and support companies that have high standards and regulations used as practices to help maintain a sustainable society. Another basic and easy way I would like to suggest is to wear old clothes in your closet, try to stylish and mix and match so that you can reduce the needs of new clothes that those fast fashion companies are relying on. Start with yourself and spread this piece of knowledge to those around you. |

Hi Anocha Simma, this is a mentor Sang Su Lee.
Fast fashion... This is a new terminology that I did not know. Thank you for introducing explanation on this word. I could learn that fashion industry can harm the environment at the beginning of the process of making clothes. I never considered the effects of pesticides to gain fibers. Consumers are always in power to prevent the company from mass producing clothes.
Thank you for writing a good report!
Cheers!

Hello Anocha Simma, this is mentor Taehyun.
Thank you for the report about fast fashion! Fast fashion has a lot of problems related to not only the environment but also fast fashion factory labor's treat. But, only for the environment, fast fashion is the worst way to destruct the environment, because it uses not environment-friendly materials for their products because of the problem with the price. So, we have to try not to wear that fast fashion and try to use a legit brand!
Thank you for the report!
Green cheers!

Hello Anocha,
Thank you very much for your report!
Fast fashion is totally a big problem in our society, expecially since most clothes in the shops are of pretty low quality. Unfortunately, you have to pay a lot of money to wear environmentally friendly clothes.
Sincerely,
Oksana
