This is the most popular long-term consumer market in every industry today is undergoing a “green” – from automobiles to household cleaning products. Of course, clothing and fashion market bound to follow. Several activities, such as Seattle’s Green Fashion Zhou Zheng rise throughout the country to promote awareness of new clothes.

These activities stand up and oppose the synthetic fiber and labor-intensive sweatshops. However, they failed to resolve the real issues in the context of sustainable clothing, this is a one-off clothes. I think that any one-off clothes, you would rather throw away and then repair, donations, or use as hand-me. Piles of these one-off clothes not only created new problems, landfill site has reached the end of useful life, but harmful carbon emissions in the development of production plants.

Retailers, sales of these one-time, such as Old Navy clothes, Wal-Mart and Target are just reset all the carbon offsets, they are too specialized consumers. Cheap T-shirt, cost less than a cup of coffee and muffins will be wearing several times, and then thrown into the trash. 20 U.S. dollars of cargo pants will be discarded, once the trend changes in the best thing for the future.

The key is to maintain a plan, green apparel 2 times. First, adhering to the procurement of quality, durable clothing will continue, and donated to others when you’re ready for. Secondly, to find alternative uses of clothing, will be offset by other one-off industries, such as cleaning their Swiffer pad.
