The Slow Approach Magazine\u00a0<\/u><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/u><\/span><\/a><\/p>

As a consumer we need to start thinking more about slow fashion and sustainable products.\u00a0 It\u2019s so hard to picture just what role the fast fashion industry plays in the future climate crisis, after all, CO2 is invisible. But these emissions are caused by the way stuff is made, and in the traditional fashion industry 60% of clothes are made from plastic and most are made using fossil fuels, equivalent to 10% of global emissions. If demand continues to grow at the current rate, the total carbon footprint of clothing would grow to 3,978 mega tonnes by 2050. According to DEFRA data, this is equivalent to almost double the carbon emissions of the whole of India in 2018. This seems insane, and its why choosing products made from natural organic materials and renewable energy is so important.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The Slow Approach Magazine can help you make better choices and be part of the solution, not part of the problem. With informative articles about sustainable brands and packed with information to inspire a sustainable, mindful and creative lifestyle.\u00a0 With the average person buying 60% more items of clothing every year and keeps them for about half as long as 15 years according to Greenpeace. If this material has nowhere to go, that\u2019s more waste per person. Add to that the fact that there are more people, and we can see why it\u2019s so important to solve the waste issue in fashion.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>","urlTitle":"the-slow-approach-magazine","url":"\/blog\/the-slow-approach-magazine\/","editListUrl":"\/my-blogs","editUrl":"\/my-blogs\/edit\/the-slow-approach-magazine\/","fullUrl":"https:\/\/searanger.uk\/blog\/the-slow-approach-magazine\/","featured":false,"published":true,"showOnSitemap":true,"hidden":false,"visibility":null,"createdAt":1725446548,"updatedAt":1725451479,"publishedAt":1725451479,"lastReadAt":null,"division":{"id":114139,"name":"Sea Ranger"},"tags":[],"metaImage":{"original":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/uxympbgs6mui6jswful9vuisoxeg0htgkrzijsa36czyc6xl.jpeg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/uxympbgs6mui6jswful9vuisoxeg0htgkrzijsa36czyc6xl.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/uxympbgs6mui6jswful9vuisoxeg0htgkrzijsa36czyc6xl.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"metaTitle":"","metaDescription":"Intro to the Slow Approach Magazine","keyPhraseCampaignId":null,"series":[],"similarReads":[{"id":13780,"title":"Waterways","url":"\/blog\/waterways\/","urlTitle":"waterways","division":114139,"description":"Fashion causes water-pollution problems.
