Environmental impact of fashion

Okay little one, let's talk about how our clothes can harm the planet.

You know how we need to drink water and eat food to stay healthy? Well, our planet needs its own version of food and water to stay healthy too. It needs clean water, fresh air, and healthy soil.

When we make clothes, it takes a lot of resources from the planet. We use water to grow cotton, oil to make synthetic fabrics, and energy to power factories that create clothes. All of these things can be harmful to the environment if we use too much of them.

But it's not just the making of clothes that can harm the planet. Once we've got our clothes, we wash them and dry them, which takes more energy and water. And when we're done with our clothes, we might throw them away. When clothes end up in landfills, they take up space and release gases that harm the environment.

Now, let's talk about something called "fast fashion." This means there are companies that make a lot of clothes quickly and cheaply, which can be harmful to the environment. These clothes might not last very long, which means we have to buy more clothes more often. And when we're done with them, they end up in landfills.

But don't worry, there are things we can do to help! We can buy clothes made from sustainable materials, like organic cotton or bamboo. We can also buy clothes from companies that use eco-friendly practices, like recycling water at factories or using renewable energy. And when we're done with our clothes, we can donate them or recycle them, so they don't end up in landfills.

So, that's how our clothes can impact the environment. Just remember, like we need to take care of our bodies, we need to take care of the planet too!
