The Climate Crisis and Sustainable Ethical Fashion
Our world is facing a climate crisis. The climate crisis has become a crisis that concerns not only us but all living things on earth. Over the years, nature has given us many warnings. The glaciers began to melt, and the average temperature around the world began to increase..
Today, forest fires have started to break out in Mediterranean countries due to the heat. Many people became homeless due to these fires, as well as the ecological balance in the forests deteriorated with the burning of living things in nature. This destruction to nature will be able to renew itself after about 50 years. In other words, we can think of it like a newborn being 50 years old.
How long is that when we think about it? Will this crisis continue like this forever? Will we witness worse events for nature? Let's look at the answers to these questions together...
Causes of the Climate Crisis
First of all, let's see if the climate crisis will get bigger and we will witness worse events. The biggest cause of the c
limate crisis is the increase in the amount of carbon dioxide. The main reason for the increase in the amount of carbon dioxide is the fossil fuels that we use in our cars. These fuels harm our nature to a great extent. When we say fossil fuels, we do not think of the fuels we use in our cars that, but mostly fossil fuels are used to supply the electrical energy of the factories.Millions of microplastic wastes are left in the production of our clothes, which we combine every day to go somewhere. This causes the death of millions of our living beings.
As we can understand from here, it is in our hands to stop the climate crisis before it grows. For this, we have to put up a great struggle as humanity. Now let's see how we should fight.
Combating the Climate Crisis
We, the people, are the first pillar of the fight against the climate crisis. Let's think about our house, have you ever think about how many products that can hardly dissolve in nature and harm the nature? Even the simplest plastic bottles degrade in nature in 400 years. Think about the textile fabric waste we wear that, how much damage we have done to our planet with textile waste since our childhood...
We can protect our nature with simple solutions. Here are some suggestions for this.
• Have you ever heard of a newspaper holder made from a bottle before? If you haven't heard, we'll tell you right away. Take 1 plastic bottle and cut the cap part wide. Your new newspaper stand is ready. By making this newspaper, you have saved a plastic bottle that has been dissolved in 100 years from nature.
• There may be a pen holder where you can put your colored pencils by removing the lid or cutting it from your shampoo boxes.
Now let's see how we can evaluate the clothes we don't wear.
• You can turn a long skirt or dress that you think is out of fashion and that you don't wear. Well, let's see how we will do this... Find a baby elastic that will surround the waist of your skirt and tighten your chest, and sew the waist part of your skirt with seams inside. That's it!
• You may be bored with your shirts, you can make puzzle shirts from the shirts you are bored with. You can make your shirts into square pieces and stitch them to create a colorful summer shirt.
As we can see, protecting our nature is actually that simple. In recent years, the awareness of protecting nature has increased even more. One of the best examples of this is the emphasis on sustainable ethical fashion. Many brands pay attention to the sustainability of their products. So, what is this sustainable ethical fashion?
Fashion That Says Stop to the Climate Crisis
The fast-moving consumption fashion we have created in today's world is among the main causes of the climate crisis. In fact, according to a study, the fashion industry has been recognized as the second industry polluting the world. This means that, as we mentioned at the beginning of our article, the biggest cause of the climate crisis is people and factories. However, thanks to the warnings given by nature in these times, many brands gave importance to sustainable ethical fashion.
Sustainable ethical fashion is actually defined as sustainable fashion. Sustainable ethical fashion, on the other hand, includes the concept of "ethics". So what does this mean?
Namely;
• Ensuring fair wages for textile workers
• Providing the opportunity to work in good conditions
With sustainable ethical fashion, we protect not only nature but also human rights.
The textile sector, which is the second in terms of polluting nature, accounts for 5% of carbon emissions and 20% of water pollution. Let's look at our wardrobe. How many of our clothes have gone through sustainable production?
If we love our planet and nature, we must be very careful that our clothes are sustainable from the very beginning.
Sustainable Shopping Guide
Everyone has their own style of shopping. Some of us shop to relieve stress, some of us shop to meet their needs...
If you want to hope, what to do before and after shopping...
• Before you go shopping, check your wardrobe for what you need. Which buying something you don't need harms both your pocket and the environment.
• You can give a new look by cutting the clothes that you don't wear instead of throwing them away.
• Make sure that the product you will buy is produced in a sustainable way from the production stage. You can learn this from the boards inside the store, from the store's website or from the label, whether it has gone through the sustainable production stage.
Now that we've learned what to look out for while shopping, let's take a look at a few pieces in the summer collection of Women&Women, a sustainable brand since its production phase.
Women&Women San Pedro kimono takes its place among the kimonos that you can combine both in daily life, in the office and on the beach. San Pedro takes its name from the Ivory Coast. Think of the lush forests of Ivory Coast or the clear blue of Ivory Coast overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Isn't it beautiful?
That's why we need to lose these forests and oceans, so we need to make sure that every product we buy is environmentally friendly and sustainable. The deterioration of the ecological balance affects all living things in nature. We are also adversely affected by the deterioration of this ecological balance.

We have no other planet to go to, our nature, our living things, that is, we must protect this nature. We have caused the death of millions of living things in the climate crisis we live in. It's up to us to stop this trend. Even with small changes in our lives, we can greatly save our nature and stop the climate crisis before it escalates.
