The video above explains why being conscious about what you are buying, in terms of fashion, is important for environmental and ethical reasons. She explains that clothing is usually made with unsustainable materials because they are cheap and can be produced on a mass scale. The process of making the clothes and the consumer habits associated with buying more clothes than you need is very wasteful and harmful to the planet. There are also ethical issues associated with the mass production of these clothing items because the people making the clothes are often from developing countries, who work in poor conditions and get paid much less than they should.
However, shopping and fashion is still a hobby for many people. This video explores ways that you can find clothes that are made sustainably and ethically. These clothes are also affordable, which is rare for many sustainably-made clothing items.
