形容詞最高級

The fashion industry is one of the world's largest polluters.

時裝業是世界上最大的污染者之一

The world now consumes a staggering 80 billion items of clothing each year.

在過去的二十年裡，這個數字上漲了400％

Now it's so important to understand that advertising and big businesses are selling us the idea that we need more stuff.

我們必須了解是廣告和大企業向我們推銷我們需要更多東西

Whereas the fashion industry used to have four seasons. They now have 52 seasons a year

時裝業以前只有4季，然而他們現在一年有52季

that means new stuff is coming in each week and their aim is to try and persuade you that you need that item

這意味著每週都會有新的東西出現

in your Life. We now have hard evidence to suggest that the more we concentrate on these values of money

他們的目標是試著說服你，你需要這件東西在你的生活中

consuming and material importance the more depressed anxious and unhappy we actually become

我們越是看重這些金錢消費的價值、物質的重要性

But I'm afraid to say that we have completely bought into it

我們實際上變得越來越焦慮和不快樂

even though our wardrobes are completely saturated

但我恐怕得說我們已經完全被說服了

We are obsessed with this constant newness

because the fashion industry has instilled into us this fear of being out of fashion

But how can we be in fashion when there's 52 seasons a year

因為時裝業灌輸我們害怕不時髦的想法

I used to go down H&M or Zara and get a bargain

但是，當一年有52個季時，我們怎麼跟得上流行

I thought I was winning right and that's what people are doing

more and more people are buying more and more clothes

And we're not keeping them as long as we used to

我以為我贏了，對吧。大家都在這樣

越來越多的人購買越來越多的衣服

Disposable in a way that it never used to be

而我們卻不像以前那樣保留它們

only 3% of the clothes in America are actually made in America the rest are made in developing countries

所有這一切都以非常現實的代價實現

美國只有3%的衣服是美國製造的

that earn less than three dollars per day.

These countries so desperately need the work

that they have no choice, but to lower their prices and cut corners such as workers safety.

Otherwise the big businesses would just look elsewhere

that people are dying and yet, the big businesses just turn a blind eye. How is that okay?

他們別無選擇，只能降低價格，像是犧牲工安等

The fast fashion industry has a massive negative environmental impact :

water pollution, the use of toxic chemicals and insane amounts of textile waste.

Even when we donate clothes to charity shops or thrift stores, only ten

人們在死去，但大企業卻視而不見

the rest of them end up in landfill or they ship them to developing countries where they

快時尚產業對環境造成巨大的負面影響

水污染、有毒化學品和巨量紡織廢棄物

即使我們捐贈衣物到慈善商店或二手店

but if you're like me and you care about people and the planet we have to be aware of the truth

So what can we do? what can we do together as a community?

其餘的則進入垃圾掩埋場，或被運往發展中國家

first things first we have to make an effort to buy less clothing so

但是如果你像我一樣關心人們和地球

Grab some old pieces of clothing and see how you can do something new with them

hold swap shops with your friends every once in

作為一個社群我們可以一起做些什麼？

When you do go shopping make sure you look for things that are higher

quality and will last you longer even better head to your local thrift shop, charity shop, consignment store or vintage shop.

Secondhand shopping is the way forward and it's actually really fun. It's pretty easy on the wallet, too.

We need to change the way we think about fashion and clothes

拿出舊衣服，看看你可以如何翻新它們

Pick something that you'll really love so you know you'll want to keep it for a while.

I have a pair of green trousers in my wardrobe that I have had for probably over five years

I love them and I wack them out every single autumn without fail

當你去購物時，買耐用、高品質的物品

look good sustainably and help reduce the impact of fast fashion on the environment

甚至更好你可以前往當地的二手店、慈善商店、寄售商店或古董商店

Get out there you beautiful people and Start The Wave

買二手品是很直接的方式，而且也很有趣
