Clothing is one of the basic needs of human beings, but today the greed to look appealing and glamorous has ended up damaging our environment. The global textile and clothing industry is one of the most pollution releasing industries of the world, being one of the main contributors to water pollution, releasing micro plastics and carcinogenic chemicals, unhealthy working conditions, and fast phased fashion that end up in landfills. There is a need to urgently attend to this issue with utmost importance. We can make a positive impact and bring more meaning and value in our daily life routines by slightly altering our comfort zone, putting a little effort gradually with love. The use of organic raw materials, adopting environment friendly methods of manufacturing, choosing the right alternatives and introducing healthy practices like mending and maintaining, we can help fight the situation. To care for our community we need to begin with ourselves. Having the skill sets and knowledge to be self-reliant, and to meet our own needs from locally accessible materials is a super power.
