By now it is common knowledge that the fashion business is one of the world's largest consumers of water. And the figures are alarming, especially given the current status of our environmental catastrophe and the natural progression of consumption, which does not appear to be slowing down. Water is used extensively not only for washing textiles but also for production procedures such as textile dyeing and finishing. Clothing production necessitates a large amount of water, particularly when cotton is grown. According to estimations, it takes roughly 2,720 liters of water to create a single cotton T-shirt, which is equivalent to three years' worth of drinking water for one person. For instance, a regular pair of jeans can take up to 10.850 liters of water to produce, which is roughly the amount of drinking water consumed by an average person over the course of five years. When compared it all suddenly starts to become too real, doesn't it?
When it comes to clothing, the circular economy is one of the few simple ways to lessen your negative footprint. It would certainly aid the environment if we could reduce unnecessary, trendy purchases by being more mindful and attempting to buy more vintage clothing. Vintage clothing benefits the owner in several ways, not only vintage garments were produced in such high quality that they can be used for a longer period of time and retain their value, but also are very unique and give character to the wearers' style. By just choosing to shop circular, you can help to reduce the fashion industry's water consumption.
What is more compelling is that nowadays being unique and different is more trendy than following the latest fast fashion look. There are also plenty of celebrities and influencers who choose to wear and buy vintage clothing for a variety of reasons. It might be for environmental concerns and social awareness, or it could be for personal style, but it all works and looks wonderful!
