ECO EFFECT
Did you know that 20% of the global industrial water pollution and 10% of global carbon emissions comes from the fast fashion industry? This includes brand like Zara, H&M, Forever21, and etc. But did you also know that thrift shopping can lessen the environmental risks produced by clothing manufacturers? Cool, right? This is because the demand for brand new clothes narrows down if we subscribe to thrift shops as alternatives. And if you're new to this information, you might feel at lost. So, here's a guide to answer your "what, why, and how" in your journey as you shift to sustainable fashion.
WHAT?
Sustainable fashion is like the cool rebel in the world of threads – it's all about rocking the runway without trashing the planet. Picture this: threads that don't just make you look good but also make Mother Earth give a nod of approval. It's the fashion equivalent of a guilt-free dessert, with outfits made from recycled materials and crafted by hands that are treated like the royalty they are. In your journey towards a more eco-friendly lifestyle, check these videos that can help you in learning more about what sustainable fashion is and what fast fashion does to the environment.
WHY?
Shifting to sustainable fashion will not only upgrade your wardrobe; it's like giving the planet a much-needed spa day. Think of it as a wardrobe makeover with a conscience – your clothes
don't just make a statement; they shout, "I care about the planet, and I look fabulous doing it!"
It's not just fashion; it's a planet-friendly strut into the future. Now, if you’re still contemplating
on choosing sustainable clothes for your next purchase, let these videos enlighten you
as to why the environment needs your eco-friendly choices.
HOW?
Transitioning to sustainable fashion is a continuous journey of small, intentional steps. Every conscious choice you make contributes to a more eco-friendly and ethical fashion industry. In starting your sustainable fashion journey, here are some of the basic steps you can take.
Eco-bag Shops
In these green sanctuaries of style, each purchase is a vote for a better world. Check out these stores that go beyond labels and price tags but are also curators of a conscious lifestyle.
Certification Labels Look for labels like Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) or Organic Content Standard (OCS) for organic fabrics.

Fiber Label Content
Check the label for terms like "100% organic cotton" or "organic hemp."
Texture and Appearance
Feel for a softer, natural texture in organic cotton or a smooth, silky touch in bamboo.
Burn Test
Conduct a burn test using a small-cut piece from the clothing: cotton and linen burn with a steady flame, wool and silk with a smell of burning hair, synthetics burn quickly with black smoke.
