Doorgeslagen kapitalisme

Door ons op hol geslagen kapitalisme leven we in een wegwerp maatschappij. En steeds meer mensen sluiten zich aan en consumeren meer en meer. Want wij willen graag mooie kleding bezitten. En veel! Er wordt een torenhoge afvalberg veroorzaakt door onze kooplust. Maar het verontrust de meeste niet zo heel erg, want koopjes jagen zit ons in het bloed.

Fast fashion

De kleding industrie spant de kroon in vervuiling en afval. Wij zouden vaker in dezelfde outfit lopen als onze kleding op waarde geschat werd. En als wij bereid zijn de werkelijke kostprijs te betalen. Als we ervoor zorgen dat de gehele productielijn een eerlijk loon krijgt, hoeft er minder worden gemaakt. Een eerlijke prijs zou de kleding afvalberg beslist verminderen. We repareren te weinig en gooien te makkelijk goed spul weg. We hebben het recht niet om Afrika vol te dumpen met onze overtollige kleding.

Waar komt onze kleding vandaan?

It is a problem what is happening since many people are not aware of the damage it is doing _

@fanny That is why it is a very important topic to pay as much attention to as possible.

The first step to go to a better world is awareness, and others is to use better methods to not end up causing more harm

@Alberto You are right about that, awareness of what damage is being done to the environment is the first step.

It is true that many people become compulsive buyers and fill every space with things that they often do not use just because of the simple fact that I catch their attention at some point or because of their low cost.

@Kj It's high time people start consu-reducing.

In itself, it is also something that people have not seen the damage they generate with it, by the way good post

@Freli Awareness is the first step towards recognition.

There are people who are obsessive about shopping and they have those closeps crammed with clothing just because they buy deals, in the end, with time the clothes become very fragile and break.

@Niria The fast fashion has been completely beaten, Niria

it is indeed a very good problem, more people were going to become aware of it, that would help, then.

@Rosita&Charlene-Blogs-Creaties A “normal” price could work on buying behavior. And can benefit the workers.

Yes, it's true, it is creating a problem with the pollution. I also saw a documentary about this in YouTube, thousands and thousands of clothes are thrown away every year, people don't recycle.

@roxana_ac Even if we recycle everything, it's just TOO much.

What you're talking about here is definitely a problem. It's good to make people (more) aware of this. Good blog.

@Dewaputra We can't keep pointing at the producers. We all have to take action individually as well.
