How can you express your personality, creativity, and values in ways that don't require fast fashion or buying more clothes and accessories?

Ava Wright 1/15/2021 8:15 PM

Expressing your personality and creativity doesn't require purchasing new clothes or fast fashion. Participating in clothing swaps, buying second-hand clothing, or shopping from eco-friendly brands (materials that required little water and fertilizer, non-harmful dyes, etc) can allow you to be fashionable without contributing to the environmental harm caused by fast fashion.

Why do people in richer countries eat more meat than people in other places? How does eating more meat affect our planet and other people?

This diet has caused the evolution of a meat industry that relies on the mass production of meat, unethical practices, and harm to the environment because transporting meat pollutes the planet. Eating a large amount of meat may have negative impacts on one's health.
