My last article was an introductory into sustainable fashion, Thank you all for reading. Sustainable fashion has garnered a lot of question conversation in the past years mostly amongst environmentally conscious people. Rachel Pope wrote for the business wire in 2021 on the changes towards sustainable changes by people "Globally, 85 percent of people indicate that they have shifted their purchase behavior towards being more sustainable in the past five years -- however, we observe meaningful generational differences in attitude. When looking at both Baby Boomers and Generation X, 24 percent across each have significantly changed their behavior towards being more sustainable -- this figure climbs to 32 percent for Millennials. Additionally, one third of Millennials will choose a sustainable alternative when available, whereas older generations are less likely to actively choose sustainable alternatives (24-29 percent)".
