So now that we are all aware with the terms fast fashion , slow fashion , sustainability etc. etc. ; let's discuss about the true cost of fashion . How is fashion actually harming the environment . If we see the above video we'll get to understand that there is huge amount of cloths being produced every year , most of which end up in landfills . Globally 80% of textiles are doomed for landfills and only 20% are actually reused or recycle . And let's take a moment to realize the fact that fabrics are polyester , nylon , spandex take almost 20-200 years to decompose . If not now then when will we realize that this not something we can play with , it's actually harming the environment on a greater level and eventually it's going to affect us . If I talk about myself , yes I can see a bundle of clothes that's not being used in my cupboard and yes I am about to discard them . But looking to this scenario it's a shame that I am a part of it . For some reason we can blame it on changing trends which force us to buy these extra clothing pieces and once the trend is gone , these clothes come to the urge of being discarded . In the above video looking at the amount of clothes at savana rags , I feel a little disturbed and so should you .
I agree to the fact that we buy these clothes to keep up with the world , to look good , for occasions etc. but what if we stop for a moment and think that are we ready to do the same at this cost , are we ready to sacrifice our environment just for the sake of fashion . This is something to think about .
I'll leave you all to this , do give a thought and join hand in saving what is left .

Very insightful blog... we indeed are blindfolded to the harmful sides of the fashion industry. You said, you are ready to discard some of your unused clothing. What do you think is a safe way to discard our unused cloth?
I really liked this documentary as it provides a relevant information about fast fashion even it also showed us the way how we can stop this and the way you tell your story in relation to this then I realized that I'm also doing the same but now I will not
