green is the new black?


I think to be sustainable is to be aware of the issues concerning the environment and contributing to resolve the problem which can work on different levels such as purchasing an organic t-shirt once in a while, re-using and recycling clothes or transforming every aspect of a lifestyle into a sustainable one.
A sustainable fashion industry is a complex definition that involves employment conditions, fair trade, the use of recyclable materials, a minimal impact of production and transportation on the environment, and no animals used to make a garment. To convert the fashion industry into a sustainable one will not happen overnight. The transformation would need involvement from farmers, fabric producers, designers and consumers over a long period of time.
