TEXT 1: FASHION AND WASTE
In 2018, beauty vlogger Samantha Ravndahl announced to her legion of subscribers that she would no longer accept
1
promotional samples because she was concerned about the waste in the packaging of beauty and fashion items. She was trying
2
to combat not just her own waste, but that of all her followers.
3
It’s really a game of chicken or the egg to decide who is to blame for the culture of waste: social media or fashion itself? The
4
answer is a toxic combination of both. Before social media, there were magazines, glossy pages that dictated what was in and out.
5
They only came out once a week or a month, but they perpetuated the idea that fashion had an expiration date. By giving users
6
unlimited potential to broadcast their lives, social media has gone further and made it an unwritten fashion rule that “new” means
7
better: you cannot wear the same outfit twice. 41% of people between 19 and 25 years old say they won’t rewear an outfit, and
8
four in five consumers say they have made a purchase because an influencer shared it. This is where Samantha Ravndahl wants
9
to make a change.
10
The consequences of an entire generation using and rapidly throwing away products and clothes that are mostly non-
11
degradable is apocalyptic for our environment. It is undoubtedly clear that the benefits of social media, measured in likes and
12
shares, are not worth the harm they’re doing to the planet. We are facing the complete destruction of our ecosystem. Starting with
13
our own relationship with social media, shouldn’t we reexamine the habits that make us complicit in the climate crisis?
