Question

Read the article and check the fashion industry activities that are mentioned.

Whether we think about it or not, what we wear matters. Fashion reflects our
natural needs for variation, creativity and belonging. Beyond that, it is an
enormous industry that involves billions of dollars, so it is important to consider
how it affects our society and the environment.
• Fashion allows us to express our personality, preferences, interests,
cultures and so much more, so it is an essential aspect of our lives.
• It generates numerous jobs in all segments of industry, from the production
of raw materials and final products all the way to stores everywhere.
• Nowadays, it offers us a lot more options to wear what we want than in the
past.
• To make more clothes, the industry needs more fabric, but producing
fabrics requires the use of toxic products that contaminate the soil, pollute
the water and cause many health problems for workers.
• Production also includes cutting the fabric into specific shapes, but this
generates a lot of textile waste that is difficult to be recycled.
• In some cases, people who make the clothes do not get decent payment
and because of this, they live in poverty and terrible conditions.
Considering all this, it is important to choose and buy consciously. Fortunately,
there are ways we can contribute to reducing fashion’s negative impacts, for
example:
• not buying items that we do not really need;
• knowing where our clothes come from and who are making them;
• looking for producers that recycle or reuse materials.
