what is ethical fashion?
Fast Fashion not only created a production model where very cheap low-quality garments were made very fast following trends with no regard to the environment and the people, but it also gave more importance to fashion movements that wanted a sustainable fashion industry.
Nanomboka teo dia nipoitra ny hetsika lamaody toy ny Ethical, Sustainable and Slow Fashionamin'ny fomba iray na amin'ny fomba hafa,izay karazana zavatra tsara raha tsy miraharaha ny voka-dratsin'ny Fast Fashion eo amin'ny tontolontsika isika, producing 10% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions and 20% of global wastewaters that pollute our rivers and seas.
Ny lamaody etika dia manondro hetsika lamaody izay mikaroka akanjo natao ho an'ny mpiasa izay manao izany,ireo mpivarotra sy orinasa madinika izay mandray anjara amin'ny fizotran'ny famokarana,varotra ara-drariny, ary ny fitsaboana etika amin'ireo mpiasa rehetra mifandraika amin'ny indostrian'ny lamaody,including the environment.
Noho izany, amin'ny teny tsotra, ny Ethical Fashion dia mifantoka amin'ny fitsaboana etika amin'ny olombelona sy ny biby mba hahazoana indostrian'ny lamaody maharitra, with support for small businesses and the development of countries that are right now in unfavorable conditions.
the terrible consequences of fast fashion
This terrible business practice has a lot of downfalls, Ny olana lehibe indrindra amin'ny lamaody haingana dia ny fandotoana azy, mamokatra 10% amin'ny entona entona mandatsa-dranomaso manerantany. with its activities, which is a lot.
But there are many other things we can mention about it, Ireto ny olana lehibe indrindra amin'ny lamaody haingana:
- Famokarana tafahoatra, dia miteraka akanjo be dia be haingana ary maro amin'izy ireo no miafara any amin'ny fanariam-pako nefa tsy anaovana akory.
- Fahalotoan'ny rivotra, mamokatra manodidina ny 10% amin'ny entona entona mandatsa-dranomaso maneran-tany.
- Fandotoana rano, mandoto ny renirano sy ny ranomasina amin'ny tsy fahampian'ny fikarakarana ny tontolo iainana rehefa mamorona ireny akanjo ireny.
- Fandotoana ny tany, indrindra rehefa miafara any amin'ny fanariam-pako ny akanjo, mivadika ho zavatra simika mampidi-doza ary mamela plastika tsy ho levona raha vita amin'ny polyester ny akanjo.
- fanjifàna, satria mampiroborobo ny kolontsain'ny akanjo mividy-n-manipy araka izay irinao nefa tsy mandinika ny fiantraikan'ny fihetsikao.
- Fanararaotana mpiasa, miaraka amin'ny karama faran'izay ambany, ny toe-piainana tsy maha-olombelona, ary ny asa toy ny fanandevozana, no anisan'ny antony mahatonga ireo akanjo ireo ho mora.
- Mangalatra fananana ara-tsaina, mila fironana vaovao tsy tapaka ity fomba fanao ara-barotra ity ary vonona ny hanao izay rehetra hahazoana azy ireo, toy ny fangalarana tetik'asa avy amin'ireo mpanakanto tsy miankina tsy manome crédit azy ireo, efa nitranga imbetsaka izany.
Ity lisitra ity dia mitohy hatrany, indrisy, ary nyenvironmental impacts of fast fashion are very bad, fa raha te-hianatra bebe kokoa amin'ny antsipiriany momba ny olana amin'ity fanao ara-barotra ity ianao dia manoro hevitra anao hamaky ianao Huffington Post’s article on Fast-Fashion.
why is ethical fashion important?
Now that you know how bad Fast Fashion really is, it becomes clear why fashion movements that want to achieve sustainability in the fashion industry are so important because they ultimately want to end the big environmental and social footprint the industry has. It is rather a necessity, because if Fast Fashion continues to grow and prosper the world as we know it may end, suffering permanent damages that we will regret as species for the rest of our existence.
Ethical Fashion as you may know focuses a lot more on the humane treatment of workers and agents involved in the production process, but there is a lot more to that. Promoting fair trade and the creation of new small businesses aims to develop those countries that are still, unfortunately, suffering from poverty. This does not only affect the lives of millions of people worldwide but will ultimately affect all of us, even from the richest countries on earth.
That is because the existence of countries that are economically underdeveloped negatively affects the entire world, because of the opportunity costs that we have if those countries were developed and contributing to the development of humanity as a whole, that is why it is harder to become a rich country if you are surrounded by poorer countries and vice versa.
Not only that, poorer countries have fewer resources to care about and resolve things like their environmental footprint and pollution, which affects all of us, and not only that, the entire planet earth and its ecosystem.
So at the end of the day, Ethical Fashion is a crucial part of achieving sustainability in the fashion industry and saving our planet and species from inevitable doom, which is, unfortunately, closer and closer as Fast Fashion grows uncontrollably. That is why Ethical Fashion is so important, for the sake of our planet and humanity, and it should always be complimented by Slow Fashion and Sustainable Fashion.
what can i do to support ethical fashion?
We have seen a lot of things about this fashion movement, but how can you support Ethical fashion? What can you do to be more ethical and support a sustainable fashion industry that cares for the workers, the environment, and also you? Well, you are lucky because there are a lot of options you can do right now from the comfort of your home! Having said this, here is how to support Ethical Fashion:
- Shop from businesses that you know are respecting their workers and agents involved in the production of their garments, preferably small businesses because you will be also supporting small families that also have to eat, and sadly today most big businesses simply do not care about their actions on the world, because of the Diffusion of responsibility phenomenon.
- Do not simply avoid all clothes made from underdeveloped countries, the fact that they are made in a country with less favorable conditions does not mean that the garment has been made with inhumane labor, countries that are rich today like Singapore, Taiwan, or South Korea have been producing garments with cheap labor for years before they finally developed. The problem is that Fast Fashion with its cheap low added value garments exploit the workers and do not even contribute to a fair development of the producing countries, which is very bad. That is why you should look for the ways the clothes are produced, and not where they are produced, because even in developed countries there can be garments made with forced labor.
- Read the business’ morals and how they are dealing with the sustainability of their operations, if they don’t even talk about sustainable practices then do not have trust in them, it is better to find a good business that cares for the people and doesn’t treat them like buy-n-throw tools to make extra money.
Here are some of the key things you can do to become more ethical with your fashion choices and support a sustainable fashion industry that cares for the people and the environment. Now you just need to put this into good practice 🙂
