(I have answered 20 questions!!) First, to answer the 2 questions,  - Are there any NGO or NPO organizations who are fighting against fast-fashion? - How are NGOs and NPOs dealing with the problem fast-fashion has?

Hi, welcome back. Today I would continue answering the questions just like the previous post.  I would like to answer 3 questions in this entry.  What is a "good" material? Is it possible to create new materials? What are the examples of "new" materials? First of all, let's answer question one. There are two types of materials for clothes, natural and synthetic. A good material refers to eco-friendly materials. To summarize an article from Gabriel Farias Iribarren, natural textile fibers an be plant-based and animal-based. There are many kinds of plant-based fibers other than cotton.  Abaca- aka Manila Hemp. It comes from the leave sheaths around the stem of a plant Abaca, a banana specie.

Welcome back, today I would like to cover 5 questions.  How many fast fashion brands are there? What are the examples of fast-fashion brands? Is there an opposite of fast fashion? What are the examples of the opposite of fast-fashion? Are there alternatives for fast-fashion? For the first question, I could not get a specific number or and estimated number because there is no drawn line to determine whether a brand is "fast" or not. So to move on and answer the second question, I will use website called "The Pretty Planter." In an entry of this blog, it gives examples of fast-fashion brands and gives clear explanation of why the brands is defined that way. I thought this website was reliable since I looked at their 'about' section on right hand corner of their blog, and their mission statement and brand beliefs were worth believing. In an entry of their blog, "30+ Fast Fashion Brands To Avoid For A More Sustainable Future", there were over 30 brands...

Why is washing petrochemical textiles bad? In the first half, I will answer the first question. The second half will cover the latter four questions. Do you know what materials are used to create what you are wearing?  Check your tags. Do they say 100% cotton, 100% wool? Or do they say 100% polyester, 50% nylon, 50% spandex? The materials I mentioned later are some examples of materials used to produce cheap garments. These fabrics are made from non-renewable fossil fuels called petrochemical textiles.
