La industria más contaminante es la textil: la producción, uso y deshecho de nuestras prendas de vestir causa muchísimos daños al planeta. Tenemos que comprar menos y elegir mejor.
Antes la ropa duraba más. Esto no solamente ha cambiado por la llegada del fast fashion, sino también por nuestros cambios de hábitos. Hay ciertas acciones que hombres y mujeres debemos retomar.
EN: Fashion is the world’s most polluting industry: the production, use and disposal of fashion garments harm for our planet. We need to buy mess and choose better.
Clothes used to last longer. But this did not only change due to the arrival of fast fashion, but also because of our habits. There are certain actions that men and women should take.
Coser botones y hacer reparaciones / Sewing buttons and fixing clothes
Es sumamente irresponsable desechar algo que puede repararse. Tomar un hilo y una aguja, seguir un tutorial en línea es sencillo e importante. Busca un sastre (y hasta un zapatero) para arreglos más complejos. Mientras la tela de una prenda no se dañe, es casi seguro que se puede reparar.
EN: It is too irresponsible to throw away something that can be repaired. Taking a needle and a thread, and following an online tutorial is simple and important. Find a seamstress (and even a cobbler) for more complex fixes. As long as the fabric is not damaged, it is almost certain the garment is fixable.
Planchar / Ironing
Indudablemente debemos volver a las fibras naturales (algodón, lino, hemp…) puesto que al lavar tejidos sintéticos, estamos vertiendo fibras en el agua. Esto significa que nuestra ropa volverá a arrugarse. Planchar es una actividad muy sencilla, pero toma tiempo y eso significa que hay que organizarse bien.
EN: Undoubtedly we must go back to using natural fibers (cotton, linen, hemp…) because when we wash fabrics, we actually spilling fibers into the water. Our clothes will get wrinkles again. Ironing is very simple, but takes time, and that means we have to be more organized.
Comprar menos / Buying less
Hay que hacernos a la idea: seguir cada tendencia, coleccionar muchas prendas iguales, evitar repetir ropa, y comprar por impulso, son actividades que tarde o temprano tendremos que abandonar. Llegó el momento de volver a encontrar el estilo personal, ser creativos para escoger lo que usaremos, y preferir calidad sobre cantidad.
EN: We need to face it: following every trend, collecting several garments alike, avoiding repetition of clothes, and buying on impulse, are actions that we will have to abandon sooner or later. It is time to rediscover personal style, to be creative to choose what we wear, and to benefit quality over quantity.
¿Te gustaría que subiera tutoriales de estas cosas? ¿Qué haces para vestir sustentablemente?

This is SO important!! I hate the culture of ‘needing to keep with the trends’ – none of this really matters, businesses just want your money and it’s sad that the planet is getting the brunt of the greediness. I don’t buy clothes that often and when I do I opt for things that are going to last!

I love this post. I definitely put more thought into my purchases. I also take care of the clothes that I have i.e mending them and washing it the right way. I also like buying from consignment stores.

Loved reading this, I agree it is our habits that are changing, we need to learn to just pay for things to be fixed, rather than throwing them out and buying new things.
