What follows is the 6 Rs, along with a mix of Drennan's and my recommendations for sources that can you help you explore each of these Rs. Be patient and work at incorporating these into your wardrobe gradually.
下面是6個r,還有德倫南和我的一些建議,這些建議可以幫助你探索每一個r。要有耐心,慢慢地把它們?nèi)谌肽愕囊聶弧?/p>
1. Reduce
減少
The most important concept on this list is to buy less. This leads to less clutter in our closets. We can see what we own and take better care of it. We are more likely to wear the pieces we have because they don't get forgotten. Drennan writes, "Try shopping for VALUE instead of COST. Investment pieces that can be worn through the seasons for many years have a cost per wear that makes them more inexpensive than fast fashion!"
清單上最重要的概念是少買。這樣可以減少我們衣柜里的雜物。我們可以看到我們所擁有的,并更好地照顧它。我們更有可能穿上我們擁有的衣服,因為它們不會被遺忘。德倫南寫道:“試著為價值而不是成本購物。投資型衣服可以穿很多季,單次穿著的成本比快時尚要低!”
2. Reuse
反復使用
Wear your own clothes for longer and learn how to wash them properly to extend their life. Host a clothing swap with friends or use a bartering app. Buy clothes second-hand when you need them, either at thrift, vintage or consignment stores, or using online sites like Poshmark, ThredUp, and The Real Real.
多穿些自己的衣服,并學會如何正確清洗它們,以延長它們的壽命。和朋友交換衣服,或者使用易貨軟件。在需要的時候購買二手衣服,可以在舊貨店、古董店或寄售店,或者使用Poshmark、ThredUp和The Real Real等網(wǎng)站。
3. Recycle
回收
I used to think that I could only donate clothes in wearable condition, but Drennan advises donating everything to thrift stores, regardless of its state.
我曾經(jīng)認為我只能捐出可穿戴的衣服,但德倫南建議把所有東西都捐給舊貨店,不管它們是什么狀態(tài)。
The idea is that, by inundating thrifters with recyclable textiles, the industry and government will be forced to come up with better solutions as quickly as possible. Some recycling technologies do exist, but there hasn't been enough investment yet to help them grow significantly.
這樣做的目的是,通過回收讓紡織品泛濫成災,紡織行業(yè)和政府將被迫盡快拿出更好的解決方案。一些回收技術(shù)確實存在,但沒有足夠的投資來幫助它們顯著增長。
4. Research
調(diào)查
When you have to buy something new, take time to research and compare brands' standards for production. Many brands share this information on their websites, but a careful reading will reveal whether or not it's true or just greenwashing. See if they mention specific factory locations, adhere to respectable certifications, and pay fair wages to workers. Read reviews on repairability and durability. Companies like Everlane and Patagonia do a great job at being transparent about production. You can find lots of other great fashion providers that have been profiled on TreeHugger over the years. Visit the sustainable fashion category.
當你不得不購買新產(chǎn)品時,花點時間研究和比較品牌的生產(chǎn)標準。許多品牌在他們的網(wǎng)站上分享了這些信息,但是仔細閱讀就會知道這是真的還是只是“漂綠”??纯此麄兪欠裉岬搅司唧w的工廠地點,是否堅持可敬的認證,是否為工人支付公平的工資。閱讀有關(guān)修理性和耐久性的評論。像Everlane和Patagonia這樣的公司在透明生產(chǎn)方面做得很好。你可以在TreeHugger網(wǎng)站上找到許多其他的時尚供應商。訪問可持續(xù)時尚類別。
5. Repair
修復
Always try to repair your clothing and shoes before deciding to throw them out. This is a big problem with fast fashion. Because the pieces are so cheap, it's hardly worth the cost to repair, nor can the shoddy construction withstand a repair job, so many people don't bother. It's a good reason to opt for higher quality clothing.
在決定扔掉衣服和鞋子之前,一定要試著把它們修好。這是快時尚的一個大問題。因為這些零件太便宜了,根本不值得花錢去修理,而且這些粗制濫造的建筑也經(jīng)不起修理,所以很多人都懶得費事了。這是選擇高質(zhì)量衣服的一個很好的理由。
6.Rent
租
The clothing rental market is one of 3 trends in sustainable fashion that Triple Pundit says to watch for in 2019. I believe it! Lately I've been seeing all kinds of mentions of rental businesses and fashion libraries across North America and Europe. This notion is not really that far removed from other things that we rent in our society these days, like housing and transportation.
服裝租賃市場是三權(quán)威人士預測2019年可持續(xù)時尚的三大趨勢之一。我相信它!最近,我在北美和歐洲看到了各種各樣關(guān)于租賃業(yè)務和時尚圖書館的說法。這個概念和我們現(xiàn)在社會上的其他租賃事物并沒有太大的區(qū)別,比如住房和交通。
