• 3．Choosing what to wear can be a tricky problem，especially if you're a fashion victim.Trying to keep up with the latest styles involves regular visits to the shops and changes，these clothes are forgotten in the back of cupboards gathering dust，or just get thrown away.
     There are many stores that now offer cheap 'fast fashion'-low-price items that imitate the style of more expensive designer brands.Environmentalists are angered by the amount of energy involved in making these clothes and that many of them are incinerated，which is responsible for 20% of the world's waste water，and 10% of carbon emissions.
     This is something the fashion industry is becoming more aware of and has led to a new crop of biomaterials that replace wasteful textiles like cotton and leather，Examples include Pinatex，a leather-like substance made from deserted pineapple leaves.It's been used in collections by Hugo Boss and H&M.And there's mycelium the root structure of mushroom that's being used to create food，packaging and textiles.
     Cotton is a very resource-intense crop to grow，Eleanor Lawrie says "about 15，00 liters of water are required to make one pair of jeans.So，buying organic cotton is a better choice.And there is also Tencel，also known as Lyocell，a natural product that's now growing in popularity.
     "But creating sustainable textiles is only part of the battle.Buying second hand and buying fewer clothes are the obvious environmentally friendly choices." said Dr.Richard from Leeds School of Design "I don't think you should consider buying any item of clothing unless you commit to 30 wears. "
