Hello everyone,
Came across an interesting article today promoting disposable fashion sunglasses, pure idiocy if you ask me but hey let’s see what you think.
These shades have been designed for short term use only and will no doubt have a lasting effect on the environment. These ‘excuses of design’ also have no glare reduction or spf protection to speak of, so while you look much like a mini checkerboard you destroy your retina’s in minimal amounts of light. It seems that these have been designed to cater for that 80’s electro/disco scene where functionality isn’t even a consideration. It’s all about the look! Got to be styling man. :/
You would think that the whole eco friendly drive would be quite contagious, obviously not. After I did a little bit of searching I found that this issue has been quite a problem in the United Kingdom for some time. Seemingly harmless pieces of fashion are being binned faster than landfills can be created with reports from The Mail stating that textile waste has increased from 7 to 30% in the last five years. I don’t think we can write that off to population growth either.
Liz Jones the style editor for The Mail went as far as alluding to boycotting big brands, that might I add also pay minimum wages to insanely poor third world citizens, as well as employing children as young as fifteen. I’m not going to mention brand names on this site but check the link above and see for yourself.
Classic example of ‘Evil prevails when good people fail to act.’
Love and peace
Alx
