Welcome to another exciting episode of ecoLEAD, where we break down complex environmental science into easy-to-digest bits for everyday life. Today’s good news: 45% of Gen Z prefer buying second-hand clothing, a trend that’s set to nearly double the second-hand market by 2027. But why is this shift so important?
The fashion industry is a massive contributor to global emissions, responsible for 8-10% of the total, more than aviation and maritime shipping combined. It generates over 92 million tons of waste and consumes 79 trillion litres of fresh water annually. To put it in perspective, that’s equivalent to 14 million African savannah elephants in waste and 44 bathtubs of water for a single outfit.
Fast fashion, with its quick turnover of trends and cheap mass-produced clothing, exacerbates the problem. By 2050, clothing purchases are expected to hit 160 million tons annually. However, shifting to second-hand clothing can reduce emissions by 25%. Online platforms like Depop, Vinted, and eBay make buying and selling pre-loved items easier than ever.
By making mindful choices, you can significantly lessen your environmental footprint. So, join the revolution—reduce your footprint and keep rocking that old shirt or trousers. It’s good for the planet and your wallet!
