The fact is we should buy ezpensive good quality clothes made from natural materials and use them for many years

Nothing annoys me more than telling people about the impact of fast fashion just for them to say they don't care or that changing their habits won't make a difference. Guess what, if you changed your habits and then made it your goal to have someone else change theirs, we may be on the right track.

Buy less, buy second hand

The micro plastic is very worrying

I'm loving this series of fashion industry

This is precisely why consumers should be educated (from a young age) on how to seek and purchase high-quality clothing made from natural materials that lasts years, if not decades. The use of polyesters and other man-made fabrics should be frowned upon, while the use of natural materials, such as wool, cashmere, cotton, linen, leathers, and silk, should be championed and encouraged all throughout the fashion industry. People should buy clothes with the intention of wearing them for a long time. This means that "fast-fashion," and ultimately trends, should be avoided, focusing instead on classic style. And, in order for clothes to actually last that long, we need to go back to the traditional ways of manufacturing clothes; largely by hand and with higher-quality materials. Craftmanship, as opposed to simply a brand name, should be celebrated. Likewise, people should be educated on how to properly take care of their clothes, and not just leave it all to some incompetent dry-cleaner. Buying less clothes is not the solution to this problem, and neither is renting them. The only solution is buying high-quality clothing and wearing it for much longer.

We also don’t know the long term effects of wearing recycled plastic will cause to our skin and overall health. Recycling is just a temporary solution not the cure. Consumerism needs to shift to cure the problem.

I havent bought a single piece of clothe this yr and Im so proud. I havent thrown away any of my clothes tho.. I just started wearin them all. When I need to buy somethin I will do my research and buy somethin eco friendly or secondhand. No more new clothes.

Sustainability needs to implemented to every industry

So, the Economist is now the next best fashion magazine

So "fashion fascism" is not just a retentive dress code. Its also environmental terrorism.

Really hope every person will watch it! Let’s stop buying!! We’ve all got enough...

Woah this is shocking! I had no idea

Consumer culture needs to change. Fashion has evolved into a false sense of happiness based on a commodity which has temporary value. There are some people who do not want to be seen wearing an outfit more than 2 times which is ridiculous. Celebrities, models and influencers have become the new idolatry and materialism the latest religion. However hard we look for meaning we will come up empty. If we value the superficial it is just that, superficial - not deep and meaningful but vacant of real value.

Very informative piece. Well done.

These videos r real case studies for students. Thank.

Great coverage - buy less, choose better and use what you have.

The focus has to be on the biggest-selling brands.

The impact we're having on our planet is massive & frightening.

Other sustainable and cheaper options are buying second hand clothes and borrowing (most of my clothes are from thrift stores, family and friends). And to avoid microplastics going from your washing machine to the ocean there are different products you can use!

I really dislike fast fashion brands, they are just selling trash

Why didn't they talk about adding filters to laundry grey-water lines....

Hemp is the answer....funny how the founding father of the economist LOVES to bash but yet at same time invests HEAVILY in the oil industry....

Great stuff! I have been thinking about this lately and this video does help it.

Charity shops are an answer.

Love the trailer music... Facebook journalism right here!

Where can I find those brands? I wanna buy som o those stuff.

Plastic comes from oil, which is in the ground. Where does it go when you are done with it? Back in the ground.

After learning about the harmful affects the fashion industry has on the planet, I’ve been researching on how to be a more informed consumer. I now just buy from thrift stores or use clothes no longer wanted by friends or family. But does anyone know of any ethical, environmentally-friendly fashion brands?

Excellent and stunning. How about reactions of recycled plastic shoes and clothing with human skin?

There’s plastic everywhere: wipes and the likes, cigarette buts, etc., but people just don’t know. Unless people are educated about the impact of their actions on the environment and people’s livelihoods, they cannot make an informed choice to change their behaviour; that is why it is important to spread the word.

...Fantastic. A+ Great...!!

Very impressive ,

As if I needed ANOTHER reason to loathe the fashion industry.

That's why I wear 100% natural materials even they cost 100s of dollars...

I think we should listen to him. He's a marine biologist

CORA BALL! is a new product which catches microfibers from your wash. You can buy it online

So, maybe listening to Stanley Tucci's character in the devil wears Prada is a bad thing.

Totally unrelated but anybody know the name of the text title effect used to introduce Prof. Richardson Thompson at 01:24 in the video? Would love to learn that within AE or Pr.

Fashion is not the only culprit.

5 piece french wardrobe - problem solved !

They just blamed Cotton in the beginning, while Polyester is more hazardous.

This is why so many younger people and children are having cancer these days.

4:00 ?? The music is so loud, I can’t hear what fiber he’s talking about. Great video, but please fix your sound mixing.

My DT teacher sent us this as schoolwork

There's always a price for looking good.

Thanks! Love, -Mermaids 🧜‍♀️ 🌊

please make a vid on " HUMAN AFTER AI "

Time to bring back into fashion the birthday suit.

Videos like this one make me think of all the fashion influencers telling everyone to go vegan to save the planet while they’re promoting fast fashion........

Why the hell did polyester make a come back from the 70s?

Everything sounds good except for one problem. How can we make these environmental measures affordable? It seems that these measures are expensive and will not pose a benefit to consumers in the near future.

I hate the thought of eating fish with plastic threads found in its stomach. I’m sure some toxins are absorbed into the flesh of the fish that we consumed. What happens when fish swallow wool or cotton threads?

I feel so guilty, I can't stop buying new clothes

All these eco companies are too expensive. 99% of the population will continue to buy cheap Chinese products.

Back to Adam n eve era

0:02, I love how Donald Glover just show off his illuminati tuxedo with so much swag

Live low, think high.

Fast Fashion

I feel super guilty

Wow

Well, greed will be paid for at the end.

I want to buy organic and natural fabrics but all are so expensive that its it's only for the RICH.

All these environmental videos are inspiring but always avoid the elephant in the room. We are burden to ecosystems , regardless of how consciously we behave.

I hope the government of every country will ban harmful fashion so that we will be forced to buy from ethical and sustainable companies.

How high fashion is all that plastic in your wallet? Buttons on your vest used to be made of ivory from elephants.

Me just watching because of school

"In a gentle way you can shake the world" Mahatma Gandhi

The editing of this piece is horrible. It's all over the place and makes this seem like a commercial than a short expose. It takes away from this important message.

What is this obsession with changing clothes every day?!!!! When will they stop it?

Maybe we should wear natural fur?

Does anyone notice the background music of this vid sounds like the avenger endgame trailers background song

Fashion is a joke.

As usual a great work on showing solutions,or the people trying to make them, and avoiding the hysterical climate change reports that only worst public perception and perspectives of possible solutions. Yet I haven't seen through this series the data sources and precise data(what is sad) and knowing scale and detail of problems is essential for we as individuals and members of society to think about the solutions and their optimal deepness.

Buy vintage- recycle reuse renew

1st

As a libertarian i think it's disgusting that environmentalists have now started telling people how to live their life.. what you should eat, drive, wear, when you should fly and what next?? What you think. Just fascists with a different ideology!!

Fashion? no, that's stupid

Use real fur, it is biodegradable!!!!

Great, so you are going to reduce the microplastics in the ocean, but you're still going to mass produce your products in factory that emmits toxins. Are you really solving any ecological problems here?

Veganism and naturism is the solution
