Fast fashion has an enormous environmental and social impact. With the rise of greenwashing, it’s becoming harder to differentiate sustainable brands from those wanting to appear that way. Brands now have a responsibility to create awareness around sustainable fashion and take an active role in making a serious change. Whether you’re passionate about our oceans, animal welfare, forests, or Climate change, there are plenty of green-initiative-driven and creative brands and designers to choose from. Be smart, though, and buy from sustainable brands, like these slogan tees are made from recycled fibers and are completely plastic-free!

“Unfortunately, Pollution is rewarded in the fashion industry, which profits from destroying our environment. But personal habits and companies can be redesigned and reimagined by collectively committing to a zero-waste world, says Preeta. At Tiny Rescue, our products are designed to be returned and remade. This makes for a synergistic relationship between the environment and the economy,” she added.

It’s no secret that humans have had a negative impact on the environment. Pollution, single-use plastic, overconsumption, landfill waste, and the burning of fossil fuels are just a few of the ways we have triggered Climate change and endangered the lives of people and animals. The fashion industry has a large carbon footprint and accounts for 10 percent of global human-emitted greenhouse gasses. About 60 percent of all garments contain polyester, a synthetic fabric made with fossil fuels. Emissions of CO2 for polyester in clothing are nearly 3 times higher than those for cotton, Greenpeace reported. While we cannot undo the damage that has already been done, we can choose to be a part of the solution from here on out! Take initiative and be part of the solution by standing up against fast fashion Pollution and supporting sustainable and circular brands like Tiny Rescue that are raising awareness around important issues through plastic-free, recycled,  zero-waste clothing designed to be returned and remade over and over again.

As trends continue to change and consumers buy more and more clothes, the fast fashion industry has flourished, mass-producing trendy clothing using cheap, exploitative labor and environmentally-harmful processes. By mass producing these cheaply made Apparel and garments, massive amounts of greenhouse gas emissions enter the atmosphere, water sources are depleted, and carcinogenic chemicals, dyes, salts, and heavy metals are dumped into waterways. Invest in these inspiring Earthlings For Life tees made with only natural and recycled materials and that implement sustainable business practices and a circular model.

6. There’s Only One Green Planet

Even then, plastic only becomes microplastic, which is detrimental to people, animals, and the planet. Million of animals have to suffer because humans produce an excessive amount of plastic waste. Our addiction to plastic is destroying ecosystems and poisoning animals all over the world.

From the millions of tons of plastic that end up in the oceans yearly to the fact that our greenhouse gas emissions are skyrocketing, human activity is causing the destruction of our planet. Fast fashion is playing a role in this destruction. 100 billion clothing items are produced yearly, 99% of which are not recycled. 64% of these clothes are made out of plastic, and 3 out of 5 t-shirts made today will enter the landfill within 12 months.

Slowing down the rate of Global warming can be a small step for one of us but a big step when we do it together.
