Much of a horror movie content committed by a T-shirt
Oh i had no clue thanks ill just burn my clothes that cant hurt the environment right???
Спасибо. Очень полезное видео. Хорошо, что эту тему все чаще обсуждают. Надеюсь, люди станут меньше потреблять. Слишком много предложений, слишком много моды. Это только приносит проблемы.
I wish more people understood this or cared about the impact of fast fashion trends!
50% propaganda. Not information. What do YOU or males you do not hate, if any, wear comrade?
Me who’s worn the same clothes since I was 12 because my mom bought all my clothes three sizes big
Why dont we stop this and wear shirts and not wear t- shirts
Shirtless from now on
These idiotic corporations are the one to blame,not the consumers
2:20 did you use "Thirteen" by C418 for that sound? I cross referenced it and it is a 100% match.
Not purchasing many clothes is a better solution to the negative impacts of making them on the environment. But, it is not the best for those making a living by working for fashion companies.
Don't talk about young people and inheritance. Old people inherited a worse , more careless world than you can imagine. The world is better today than it was in the 1950s, and most of those old people are dead and gone now.. Young people back in the 1970s did a lot to study ecology and how to improve our environment. Those people are in their 80s and 90s now, btw. Now, more than ever, people use their conscience about what they use and consume. It takes everyone, young and old to make the world a better place, and shaming old people doesn't help anyone. My grandma used to wash her aluminum foil, fold it up, store it in a drawer and reuse it. Do you young people do that??
meh
I live in China and most T-shirts I've bought are made of polyester, I thought that was commonplace all around the world, until one time I purchased some celebrity's merch that's made in usa…
This is an eye-opening video for the community! Thanks for this! CLEO has its "Marketing for Good" platform that helps brands to have a sustainable and attainable adaptation of innovation to use in our everyday lives.
Capsule wardrobe, wearing neutral colours, buying quality garment which will last, are some ideas to reduce pollution.
It's not India. It's Bangladesh.
i watch this bcs homework :/
I grew up in the USA, with same lifecycle was not only for T-shirts but other garments and now grown I wear some 25 year old t-shirts, and use them after they get holey for drying dishes ectra..
What are TED Ed's t-shirts made of?
This kind of video is interesting for the general public, to understand the steps of manufacturing a t-shirt, unfortunately they often contains false informations 😐
Concerning the world production, here are the figures generally indicated:
100 billion garments are sold each year in the world (2014) according to Greenpeace. Their production doubled between 2000 and 2014.
The video suggests that transport has a strong impact on GHG emissions, but this is not true, we could reduce to zero the number of km between the places of manufacture, distribution and consumption, that would not solve the problem of GHG emissions in fashion.
The most impactful phase is the finishing phase (dyeing, printing, finishing, etc.).
Similarly, it is stated that production emits "only" 10% of GHGs.
=> This is not the case if the product is used in France for example, as the energy mix there is very low-carbon.

"Fashion is the 2nd most polluting industry in the world" => same thing, a good big myth that has a life of its own.

The first real good solution to reduce the environmental impact of fashion: reduce the production of clothes…
My recommendation:
And for those who are familiar with LCA, I can only recommend this report "The Great Greenwashing Machine"
: https://eco-age.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Great-Green-Washing-Machine-Report-Part-2_FINAL.pdf
You will see with a different eye all the information that circulates like :
"Organic cotton consumes less water than conventional cotton" or
"leather is polluting because of breeding" (everything is relative),
etc.
I bought two shirts from a fast fashion store, thinking it was would last for 2 to 4 years. But it was only been 4 months and it’s being used as a rag.
On thing i disagree with, is the depiction of emissions by trains. Trains are the most efficient transport method we have and the are (except in underdeveloped Countries and north America) fully electrical and where they aren't they aren't hard to convert.
je m'en fout
That's it- I am never wearing clothes again! Oh wait that's not an option.
You forgot another side effect of fast fashion: a sharp decline in clothing quality.
Nice
To be brutally honest, I don't care.
Thank you for acknowledging Bangladesh. As a Bangladeshi I can confirm these facts.

Okay everyone time to stop wearing clothes!!! Nudism is in
Nice video
Why is water a part on this video. Water doesn't dissappear after use it evaporates and turn back to water again.
cool video 😀
At my house we dont have a dryer we always hang our clothes up.
Why do we continue to make more tv shirts? Where do all these clothes end up?
