ThinkSmarter: Sustainable Fashion by Nike

Today is 9.9 Sale day and most are now catching the best deals online and since most are now considering work-from-home arrangements, this is a good opportunity to practice Earth-friendly materials. We have heard of “sustainable” promotions in tourism where we strategically source our materials to whatever is local, cultural, and as much as possible, biodegradable.

Unraveling Fast Fashion

Image Source: UCSD Guardian

Most people aren’t aware that the major clothing companies in the US today are some of the major contributors to global issues like climate change, pollution, and inhumane labor practices. The term ‘fast fashion’ is used to describe the mass production of clothes at low prices.

As consumers and future leaders, we have the ability to make a change. The first step is to inform ourselves about the problem…

Clothing companies do not design their clothes to last. You’ve probably realized this already. Most of us have that old t-shirt that you got for free at that one cool event shoved in the back of our drawer. It’s gotten a little gross: some stains and holes in the armpit. You haven’t worn it in a few years. Probably you should give it to Goodwill.

Companies like ForeverXXI, H&M, and Zara produce cheap synthetic clothes that aren’t made to last. They will likely fall apart in a few years of use. Often, the clothing is so cheaply made that thrift stores won’t sell them when they are donated. 

In addition to the cheap fabric, the seasonality of the fashion industry makes it near impossible to stay in-style without producing large amounts of textile waste. The companies are constantly cycling new clothes and styles. The fashion industry doesn’t have just four seasons. There are micro-seasons and styles that coincide with them.

The cheap price, the impermanence of the fabric, and the constant change of styles cause consumers to purchase and eventually throw out massive amounts of textiles every year. The EPA estimated that 16,890 tons of textiles were produced in 2017; 11,150 (66%) tons went to the landfill.

Sixty percent of the fabric produced today are derived from fossil fuels. When they go to landfills, they will not decompose. Unfortunately, landfills are not the only graveyard for the fashion industry. Unused clothes end up in the ocean ecosystems, mountains, and any other place you could find litter. Fast fashion has also been called ‘landfill fashion’ because of the amount of waste produced.

Not only does fast fashion produce large amounts of waste, but there are a number of problems with the production process. The industry has a history of child and slave labor. The book, “Fashionopolis” by Dana Thomas details this dark history and the problems that still remain today. 

Only about 3% of the clothes bought in the US are produced in the nation. The reason fast fashion companies are able to purchase clothing for so cheap is that they are produced under unfair labor practices in foreign countries with lax labor laws. Low wages allow factories to mass employ humans and still sell the clothes for a cheap price while making profits.

Factory employees often work in low-light conditions and are exposed to toxic chemicals produced from the process. Building regulations are lax or ignored, leading to unstable working conditions. The most famous example is the collapse of the Rana Plaza in Bangladesh in 2013. Garment workers had noticed cracks in the building structure and after multiple warnings, their superiors did nothing. In the end, 1,129 were killed from the collapse.

The production process consumes massive amounts of resources. According to the UN, the fashion industry consumes more energy than the shipping and aviation industries combined. The process of creating clothes and growing cotton is extremely water-intensive. The industry is also responsible for large amounts of carbon emissions, contributing to climate change.

As you can tell, the fashion industry is wasteful and destructive on many levels. 

Fortunately, as young students, we can make a choice to resist fast fashion by choosing to purchase other clothes

Hey guys! I’m so excited to start my journey here. I’m passionate about circular/sustainable fashion and living as much of an eco-friendly lifestyle as I can while also being a broke college student. I’m currently studying supply chain and will one day start my own clothing brand that includes staple sustainable items for your closet that never go out of style! I want to start this blog to build on my ideas and provide some clothing inspiration with basic pieces. :)

When it comes to cold weather styling, let’s look at French women. They always look so effortless but are also dressed for the weather. Whether it’s chic layers or oversized coats. That’s why so many people love French fashion. And if it’s…
