Overconsumption is a huge problem leading to the environmental crisis. And many people are not aware of the negative effect of their choices. The truth is that although it difficult, we get to choose our values.
My vision for a better future is for our generation to become more thoughtful of controlable consumption. My plan is to lessen my contribution to fast fashion by holding on to good quality cloths for longer than hopping on to every trend.
I think a huge part of this is intentionality! Regardless of if you want to partake in this season's trends (within fashion, technology, etc), how you plan on reusing your items should be a large part in your decision before purchasing. Things only have the lifespan we give them! Plus we can repurpose old clothes into new ones with upcycling as well as turning them into collage blankets, rags and towels, etc.
