(2024.广东惠州高二练习)Recently, I pulled a jacket from my wardrobe, paired it with my red trousers and earrings, and hit the town for a book signing event. That night, I found myself unexpectedly satisfied. I got more praise over this jacket than I had got in years. But what made me feel way better was to respond, “Thank you. I bought it at a second−hand shop.” Not only did I spend minimal amount on a clearly unbelievable find, but I also joined the ranks of consumers turning to “circular fashion” −− a growing trend in refreshing our wardrobe and producing new clothes in more planet−friendly ways.
As for the clothing industry, it produces close to 10% of the world's carbon dioxide emissions and is a massive consumer of the world's water supplies. To create a single pair of jeans, for example, requires nearly 2,000 gallons of water. And each year, around 8 billion barrels of oil are used to produce artificial materials.
Consumers also contribute to the problem. They buy cheap new clothes, wear them a few times, and then throw them out. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that Americans threw away 16 million tons of clothing in 2018, with only 15 percent recycled − the rest ended up in landfills or being exported abroad.
Something's got to give. Scientists are working to develop less harmful carbon−negative fabrics, while some leading brands are shifting from linear take−make−waste economies to circular ones in which fewer clothes are made, waste and pollution are vastly reduced, and the used clothing is given new life.
But there's also a role for the individual in addressing the problem. “Following the circular fashion, you'll build an affordable cupboard that's better for the planet,” says Gama, co−founder of a company that helps brands with their recycling and resale programmes.
According to ThredUP, the world's largest fashion resale platform, the US second−hand market is expected to more than double by 2026. “Our resale report data found that over half of the consumers are more opposed to waste, both financially and environmentally,” says ThredUP president Anthony Marino.
