Clean Development

The Millenium Development Goals, agreed to by every member country of the United Nations in 2000, call for the worldwide eradication of poverty and hunger, universal education, gender equality and huge improvements in health by 2015: two years ago!!

Can we do this without making the planet warmer?

Let's think big and imagine how we can confront the climate crisis in a way that is realistic about the other major problems that we face as a planet and as a species on it.

Fashion/thrifting

ally_C

Recently the "trend" of thrifting is very popular which is great because it helps keep clothes out of landfill and our oceans. THrifting is a easy way to try different styles because even if you don't like it you don't feel bad for cutting it up or painting it to something you do like.  Stores like Hollister, American Eagle, H&M, Urban Outfitters and other store need to start a way to recycle their used clothes. I mentioned these stores because these are the most popular with teens like us or Gen Z. If we can find a way to recycle our clothes by not just donating the clothes it might be a bit cheaper. Other than that there are fashion designers who have started using recycled material to make clothes but they are not as widespread as I hoped it is. Are ability to reuse and recycle clothes is the best way to show teens that they can make an easy change and be able to express themselves.

I would agree on the "trend" of thrifting is great for the environment and that are the ability to reuse and recycle clothes is an amazing way to show young people in this generation to make a great change to help the environment but also express themselves at the same time. Personally, as a person in my youth, I would say people my age like buying a lot of clothes because that's how we express ourselves and we are experimenting with fashion too so thrifting is a great way to save money too. Also, some young people like to tie-dye and be creative with art in their fashion so I hope to see thrifting as a more common way of shopping and not just a "trend".

I also posted on the same topic of regarding fast fashion and how thrifting can be a sustainable alternative. Your connection to these popular brands such as H&M and Urban Outfitters to specific generations come to show how the younger generations can make changes for their futures. I agree on the idea to reuse and recycle clothing and fashion items and how thifting is a sustinable trend that people can catch on.

The practice of thrifting has been going on for a while, personally since I was a baby. Im glad we are starting to practice thrifting as a society. It helps the environment to recycle clothes, also helps to stop child labor from big businesses like urban outfitters and h&m

I totally agree that thrifting is a great thing and it is definitely getting popular which is awesome this definitely will help eliminate some of the waste that comes from clothing and throwing it away. It also helps with the chemical pollution that making cloths causes and the amount of water. Cotton takes a lot of water to grow and is liked by pests so the people that grow cotton will use chemicals to keep the pests off of the cotton which then this causes soil acidification.

I’ve been shopping at thrift stores for a long time. It’s great for the environment by keeping clothes out of things like the ocean, and you can find some really nice things for a cheap price. I recommend thrifting to anyone who wants some new clothes to wear or who wants to experience with different styles.

I agree thrifting is a great way of keeping clothes out of landfills and a way to not support fast fashion. The mass production of clothing is a real problem and thrifting is a something one can do if they want to help sustain a healthy environment.

Thrifting is a great way to get the clothes that you want for half the price and is much better for the environment then buying new. Not only does it help waste in the ocean, it also gives you unique clothing, its very likely that no one else will have this item. So its great that thrifting is popular even more so for the environmental side.
