Fast Fashion
Fast fashion's impact on the environment:
- It takes 300 litres of water to make one T-shirt.
- Textile dyeing is the second largest polluter of clean water globally, behind agriculture.
- Polyester is the most popular material used in fashion, when polyester is washed in a domestic washing machine fibres from the material shed and eventually add to the level of plastic present in the ocean.
- Cotton is also used, cotton growth can affect those who live near cotton farms and the farmers who treat it, causing birth defects and one cotton farmer contracting a brain tumour.
- It adds to global textile waste.
- Clothing production has doubled in the last 15 years, adding to manufacturing emissions and waste products created, also means more labour for poorer countries, however usually working in poor conditions.
