It's hard to believe news about fashion...the clothes, the garments are one of the top ten that fill up the dumpsite, the landfill and the cause of pollution?
Have you seen too many people without clothes and people barely can afford to buy clothes because they are expensive? Some of their clothes sometimes end up in hands down or in the thrift shop not letting go of those clothes even if they are with holes, torn or with stains. So why brand new products are thrown in the landfill?
The news of clothes being thrown in the garbage because nobody buys them even if those clothes were marked down? Absurd!Why they end up in the landfill is probably because those garments were to be shipped in another country and then the cargo ship got swept away by mighty winds, rough waves and hurricanes and the cargo bins were tossed and damaged through that natural disaster in the ocean. Garments rummaged by wildfire and those garments that were kept for shipping (for 3 months) without proper storage cooling system and without silica that keeps garments dry and prevent molds. Maybe that's the problem why tons upon tons of those garments of clothing and textiles were then thrown in the landfill. Molds in clothes can cause skin diseases and other health problems. Silica is also important in the preservation of leather garments and shoes. I hope you know the power of SILICA because they are also being used for embalming corpses and in taxidermy.
What should be done? Any dress, shirt, pants, shorts or skorts if it has a price tag of over $50 is not worth it. A party dress or party gown that is over $500 even if its made by a fashion designer is way over the top, greedy and cruel. Well, unless of course if that dress weighs over 20 lbs. and the fabric used to make that dress is enough for us to scream and if the length and width of the fabric is more than 6 meters and has thousands of beads and lovely appliques.
