The fashion industry is erroneously cited as the second most polluting business. Clothes create a lot of waste. I chose this topic because it relates to me. Clothes are something that I use every day of my life. Clothes are something that I wear every day and I am passionate about them. also, I like to learn about how clothes are made and what fabrics are used to make them. I like the fashion industry and I like the art of clothes. The fashion industry is a big business. It is worth billions of dollars it is a very big industry and it has a lot of effects on our environment so we can always protect our environment by taking some steps. Million of clothes in the world get dumped every day so by recycling them. We can protect our environment and provide more people with cheaper clothes. Some of the questions that I have are where do clothes go after we trash them? Do they affect our environment? I know these are the question you are interested in also.

The author is Winston Choi-Schagrin her style is really interested. She talked about recycling the clothes. She made her points clear. She educated the reader about why more production of clothes is becoming a problem for the environment. She also showed how we can fix the problem. The thing that I liked about her writing is that She used someone’s example. She used an example of a company and describe how they started recycling. Which gave the reader a better understanding. I also like the way She started the paragraph. She caught the reader’s attention in the first paragraph. She writes that there is a 4000 square foot warehouse and it is filled wall to wall and floor to ceiling with garbage bags. Which catches the attention of the reader because the reader wants to know what is in and where is the warehouse and why it is taking too much space.

article 2

New brands are often blamed for landfills and causing other types of pollution. Throughout the manufacturing process, the biggest problem is the number of unwanted clothes that wind up in landfills. According to the article “the equivalent of one garbage truck full of clothes is burned or dumped in a landfill every second,” clothing production globally roughly doubled from 2000 to 2015, and at the same time number of times a garment was worn declined this shows how the production increased and people purchased more garments but they throw them out after a lesser period of time. On the other hand, some companies are trying to fulfill people’s needs but also encouraging their customers to keep the garments out of the trash. In one of the stores of H&M customers can pay a nominal amount to have unwanted clothing transformed into new garments through a process that breaks down the old fibers and combines them with new ones. The fashion industry supply chain has always relied on 19-century equipment. Companies like Evrnu are building advanced technology so they can recycle fibers with less pollution. Companies are looking for new fibers that can replace the need for animals and can be found in nature. For example, companies are looking for something that can replace the leather and one alternative is mushroom roots.
