We all live in a time where convenience and speed have a high impact on our spending and the types of products we buy. We are all guilty of forgetting about the impact our purchases have and how what we buy creates the world we live in and the world for future generations.Fast-fashion has been ravaging our planet for years and it's time we took responsibility and took a stand.A 2017 report found that, in 2015 alone, the fashion industry consumed 79 billion cubic meters of water — enough to fill 32 million Olympic-size swimming pools. That figure is expected to increase by 50% by 2030. It's a staggering amount since Earth's water resources are running low.According to figures from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), it takes 3,781 litres of water to make one pair of jeans, from the production of the cotton to the delivery of the final product to the store. That equates to the emission of around 33.4 kilograms of carbon equivalent.Around 8,000 synthetic chemicals are used in the fashion, textile and footwear industry to turn raw materials into final products.350,000 tonnes, that's around £140 million worth of used but still usable clothing goes to landfill every year, in the UK alone.You no longer have to decide between fashion and saving the planet.
