I know for us teens it is hard for us to reuse and repurpose because who doesn't like new things. But, now it's time for us to really buckle down and start doing things selfless. Here are some examples of how I reuse and repurpose. First, we have all seen or heard about the horrible effects of fast fashion. Corporations like forever 21, Gap, old navy are producing in large quantities. This leads to an absurd amount of carbon emission being released . People who love fashion like me can begin to reduce our carbon footprint by thrifting. Yes I know this may be a scary word but it is affordable and sustainable. To start you should go to local thrift stores looking for shirts and things that aren't denim because it is very hard to find good denim at thrift stores.It may take a little bit of time but you can find name brand items that are cheaper and more sustainable. It's easier to purchase things like accessories and shoes from regular stores and find you outfits and thrifts.

I agree that fast fashion is destroying our environment by trading off a reduction of cost of clothes that are "trending for a environmentally harmful materials and dyes. It has led to many people around the world developing a habit that is extremely detrimental to the world we live in. I advocate for people to buy clothes that they can wear for a longer period of time even though it might be a bit more costly because in the end the negative impact fast fashion has is not worth it. It is well known that fast fashion is the second biggest polluter of clean water worldwide, since many of these large corporations H&M, Zara, etc, has their factories in countries like Indonesia, India, and Cambodia, where the government do not regulate or enforce laws that prohibits these factories from dumping their toxic waste into rivers, and lakes, resulting in heavily polluted waters which affects the daily lives of its residents, and the environment of their countries.

I agree with this 100% I’m not a big fan on new clothes especially the price tag on them. You can definitely find a couple name brand clothes at a GoodWill or Salvation Army or your local thrift store. Those key thing I want to address is the materials and pollution it takes to create brand new clothes. The killing/mistreatment of animals to get their pelts and fur. The pollution the factories emit from creating the clothes and other things that contribute. The best way to do it is just to buy older clothes and some have never even been worn!
