Did you know that fashion is the second biggest polluter in the world? (Okay, some blogs say it isn’t – but no matter what, it was always in the top 5). That’s bad!
Here is an excellent page on the impact of the fashion industry from Sustain Your Style. Here is a quick quote:
The apparel industry accounts for 10% of global carbon emissions. The global fashion industry is generating a lot of greenhouse gases due to the energy used during its production, manufacturing, and transportation of the millions garments purchased each year.
Synthetic fibers (polyester, acrylic, nylon, etc.), used in the majority of our clothes, are made from fossil fuel, making production much more energy-intensive than with natural fibers.
Most of our clothes are produced in China, Bangladesh, or India, countries essentially powered by coal. This is the dirtiest type of energy in terms of carbon emissions.
One thing we can do is wear used clothing. Besides shopping at thrift stores, you never know what your parents have in their closet!
Below are instructions on how to cut an oversized T-shirt to make it look cute and trendy. (This was a men’s large).
Get your t-shirt and lay it down flat on a flat surface and straighten it out. 
I measured the length from my neck to my waist, which was 17 inches. Then measured that on the t-shirt before cutting. It would be best to draw the line in chalk on the shirt. 
Cut the line you made on the shirt, but only on the backside. 
Fold the shirt in half, having the front be folded inward. Then cut in a slant, from the side of the shirt to the bottom front centerline. 
It should look like this when you fold it back out and straighten it. Then cut down the middle of the two slants, like your cutting a triangle in half. 
It should look like this when you are done!
