 ### Join the movement
 
-#fixingfashion relies heavily on people joining the movement, we continue to create the tutorials and knowledge. But we need people actually using the information. There are 2 ways to do this:
-1. **Use the knowledge.** Repair and upgrade your clothes. Make sure clothes get used as long as possible. Join on Discord if you need help or have questions.
-2. **Promote.** Share and inspire others to join the movement. Show the world with proudness you care for your clothes. Use #fixingfashion on Instagram and spread it around. This is very important for the movement to grow.

 ### Why are we doing this..
-For several years the fashion industry has been under fire for the problems they create. Exploiting workers, sweatshops, overproduction, pushing consumption, polluting rivers etc. Problems have been addressed, and worked on. But always within the same framework. A company trying to make money of you buying something. Its time to have a try at a deeper fix. If you want to go more in depth about the problem go to the nextchapter.

 ### 🏭 Producing clothes
-Production of our clothes happens most of the time in developing countries. Wages are low, material costs less and there are fewer regulations. Lax regulations translate into many cases of water pollution, environmental degradation, exploitation and unhealthy work conditions. Damaging the local environment and the people working in the industry. The main reason for all of this is simply that it’s cheaper. It makes it possible to produce clothes for a fraction of what it would cost in a developed country. It is cheaper to produce clothes on the other side of the world, ship it in a boat and move it in trucks than producing locally in developed countries.

 ### 🗑 Disposing clothes
 These new collections mean we replace our clothes regularly for new ones that look more trendy. They go out the door when they still function properly, there is nothing really wrong with them. Nowadays you can find many “Clothing Donation Boxes”. Places where you can dispose of your unwanted clothes in a container for goodwill to get recycled or reused. But is it really? Let's have a look at those two options.
 
-- **Reusing clothes** is a great option to increase their lifespan. But many second hand stores in the developed world have a surplus of clothes, they get more in than they can sell. Incoming clothes get filtered: good quality is kept, lower qualities are sold back to developing countries, like Ghana and India. Where they are distributed on local markets. Our donating resembles more an act of dumping unwanted materials (like plastic), as a consequence local industries fade away making it difficult to develop an independent local economy. Simply because very few on the other side of the planet make a profit out of this dynamics.

-- **Recyling,** The harsh reality is that very little of our clothes get recycled, mainly because they are all made from different materials. Polyester, Cotton, Viscose, Wool etc. And everything gets thrown out mixed together. From shirts to underwear and pyjamas. On top of that within one single piece of clothing often different materials are used. For instance, a shirt can be a mix of 80% cotton, 10% Polyester and 10% Viscose. This makes recycling very hard and complicated.

 ### 📈 The core of the problem
 The three realities above give an overview of the cycles of our clothes. There are clearly many things to improve, like making the production more sustainable, or making sure we can recycle them better. And these are important topics companies work on (or at least should). Releasing a new collection that is organic, or made fairtrade.
 
-However, fashion brands won't tackle the fundamental root problem. End of the day they want to sell you something. They continue to fuel the engine of “producing more clothes”. Clothes that weren’t needed in the first place. We don’t need more new clothes, at the moment the world has enough clothes, for the coming decade. In shops, warehouses, outlets and our own wardrobes. It’s time to keep those valuable clothes longer, reuse them and take proper care of them. But this change isn’t going to come from the fashion industry. They are not going to promote this on billboards and advertisements. It has to come from the people. From you and me.

 ### 💫 Solutions
-The cool thing of fashion is that it can change. Its made by humans. The clothes we used to like 20 years ago now look silly, and if you look at the latest fashion show its hard to imagine you would ever where that. But you will. Companies fuel these trends and promote them. But just like companies fuel new trends, we can do it as well.  A trend for repairing, caring and upgrading clothes. Keeping them longer. So unlike companies, we don’t want to sell you anything. We want to opposite. We might not have  the budget to hire top notch actors, or billboards. But we can have people support. Nowadays everyone has a platform and can reach people with their social media. Share and inspire others to upgrade and repair clothes. Use your platform and spread this new trend.
