So I was sceptical about how non - harry potter videos would turn out. It was actually really interesting and eye opening.
I work in IT / product development for a food factory in England. The waste issues are fairly similar for example when we have labels come in, they come on a pallet wrapped in plastic that is just thrown away, these are then in cardboard boxes that go to landfill, then each individual reel of labels is in an individual plastic bag. (Kinda excessive just for labels). Then all the backing paper on the label reels goes to landfill once used. We are currently in the process of improving this so now for some products label reels are not wrapped in plastic, they are just in the cardboard boxes to reduce waste. Then rather than putting the backing paper in landfill it is now getting recycled back to the factory, we fill 1 pallet worth of backing paper every 2 - 3 months. It really is surprising seeing how seemingly small things do actually build up and make a difference.
I actually just dusted off my sewing machine a couple days ago. Lol I’ve been thrifting my whole life and my grandma sometimes makes me cloths and she taught me everything I know. I fix my clothes and refashion it and donate whatever I outgrow. But yeah, now I’m gonna start making my own clothes more because I always have specific ideas about what I want anyway. Bottom line is thanks because I follow your sewing Instagram and it’s a perfect little reminder. Keep Inspiring Muggy! 🌻
This video is going to help the world so much! I’m looking forward to more of these videos so so so much! Excpecially the charityshop one😉!
Ugh I’ve needed this video !
I am not really interested in fashion, but I really enjoy this video! It opened my eyes! It’s really useful! Thank you so much! Love you ❤️
THANK YOU for making this video!! I feel like this topic is so overlooked and its so so important, especially on youtube where fast fashion culture is so encouraged. go you babe. lots of love xxx
You are amazing Laura!! And even if you lost subcribers I love that you work hard to be a more lovely person and a good person. It is also sad that schools dont learn us making clothes like a cultural class. But I have to say I go to the Primark but that is because I dont have a lot of money and i always wear my clothes until it is really worn out. And I wanna try/learn to repair clothes and remake things. And the stuff i dont use/wear i donate them to good will. I read an article that some shops are working on better work places.
Could you please do a video about sustainable brands💕
I’m so glad more youtubers are spreading awareness on this topic! This video is much needed especially with the current RUclips fashion haul culture. so thank you for making it!!
I totally agree with you Laura. I realised what a hell the fast fashion industry is like 6 months ago and have ever since stopped buying clothes from those brands. I try to get better at thrift shopping and to upcycle clothes too but could definitely use some tips and tricks.
Keep up with your good work!
You should be proud of yourself for this video and how educational it is - it’s so important and a big eye opener so thank you 💞
Olivia Potter found youuu 💜
JasmineThePotterhead hiiii💓
Wow, I'm really impressed with this video, well done, Laura! I checked out the vintage/sustainable online shops but it is pretty expensive to get their items shipped to Germany so I went ahead and looked for german online thrift shops! Thank you so much for inspiring me!
I'm so glad to see that you decided to quit fast fashion, I personally made the same decision quite a few months ago. This was a great and informative video on the subject and I'm sure it will help a lot of people to realise the truth about fast fashion and hopefully people will start to make more conscious choices when it comes to fashion. Thank you soo much for making this video!❤❤❤ I'm also just wondering where you buy your underwear? Do you have like a favourite sustainable underwear brand or where do you buy underwear now that you have quit fast fashion? I have only bought sustainable underwear from organic basics so far, and I love what they sell and highly recommend them. ❤
I've just started researching about the enviroment regarding clothes just a few days ago, and then I saw the notification and flipped out 😂 this was very helpful and informative thank you
I love that you did this video! I've been not participating in fast fashion for quite a while and it can actually be really frustrating because I stopped watching some tubers you love when they were making loads of fast fashion hauls, also friends and family going shopping. It's really hard to not be judgy... But also it's really hard to just be quiet when you know how they're made and what an impact they have on the environment
Places like depop and asos marketplace are great for buying second hand and reworked clothing items as well as selling things you no long wear!
Great video! x
I quite like turning old T-shirts into crop tops. It’s really easy and the end product actually looks fairly decent. On holiday they are great to wear because you can wear them when swimming or with a pair of shorts for a nice outfit.
yes Laura! so happy to see you using your platform to speak out about this
This video is perfect timing, just today I found out about fast fashion and decided to look into what it really meant for our environment and the people who make the clothing. As a long term fan I’m very happy you are talking about important issues like these
yay! i was SO excited for this video!
could you could link the videos you used to learn how to sew/make tutorials as it would help me so much. thankyou! love the video!
You're such a bright young lady! I've loved watching you grow through your channel!
I agree, especially when people buy so many clothes and just never wear them and then don’t even recycle them 😒
LAURA, if you are seeking more recommendations for shows about fast fashion i really recommend "sweatshop". it has two seasons, and its about teens from nordic europe that decide to spend time working and living as sweatshop workers, in an h&m (i believe) factory.
Along with the true cost, it is my favorite docuseries about fast fashion and i actually cried (which i never do) watching the second season
and i recommend it as well to everybody in the comment section :)
subbed and excited for your new content
The whole two seasons are free in their official website (if you search the trailer here on YT, they share the links there)
YES YES YES Finally somebody notices and knows
Very interesting video and I love your passion, thanks for informing me and many others! 💕
Thanks so much for making this! Xx
Hi Laura! Do you know something about how sustainable it is to make your own clothes? I was wondering about this, because most fabrics are also made in second/third world countrys i think. Are the circumstances that these fabrics are made in better? And is the production of these fabrics not as polluting?
Really interesting video btw!
the netflix show mentioned is Tidying Up with Marie Kondo
Amazing video, Laura! Saw the video you put up after this one, before, and it really sucks that you lost subscribers because of talking about an important subject. But it's so great you're making people aware. Keep talking about what you want to talk about. A lot of us are still here to listen to you, who cares about these things and about what you have to say❤
H &M is coming back to Argentina and other english brands so now i know where not to buy and thank you for teaching me those things i didnt knew that😱😱😱😱😱!!! Now i know i'll try to restore and make new cloth with my old ones ❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏thankyou for the info Laura👏👏👏👏👏❤😱
I’m a strong believer in something is better than nothing!
This is so incredible Laura!! I'd love to see more content like this, such as tips for thrifting, and sustainable brands! I love all of your content, and you seem like such a lovely human. I love everything you do!
Been changing the way i live for a few years now, I've been vegetarian for around 6 years. I buy everything cruelty free. I buy all vegan clothes (no feathers, leather, silk, pearls etc) im trying to buy all my products like shampoo etc vegan too.
I've cut my plastic waste dramatically. Started using Ecosia (if anyone doesn't know about that its a search engine that plants trees with it's revenue)
I'm not fast fashion free unfortunately but i do buy a lot less of it and the majority of my clothes from charity shops and donate anything i don't want.
Most of my furniture is second hand and I'm trying not to buy new technology from now on. Want to use my phone until it breaks and then replace it with a second hand phone. My resolution this year was to go litter picking everyday and to sort it out to the best of my ability, so what can be recycled gets recycled.
Doing things a step at a time is far easier than trying to take on a mountain. A lot of this is now just habit and just the way i live.
I don't think people don't care perse i just think they feel they can't do anything about it.
If you don't believe you can change the world, the world will never change.
Everyone can do something.
Thanks for doing this video x ☺️
I've been trying for a few years to reduce my "footprint" People think it's too hard, but small things will make a difference! I feel better about myself, which is another plus. How anyone can support child labor is beyond me
Wow this video is really important, thank you💖
lets all share this information, with everyone we know
Happy New Year Laura, Well done - this topic should be done more by people, so much waste when 3rd world people are suffering and their lives could be made a little better by some of the items that are so easily discarded from the richer Countries.
I have put this on my instagram story and tagged u
Awesome video. Well done. Love that you are highlighting this issue especially to an audience of variety too. Love that you are trying veganuary also!! Deffo reccommend doing more research on veganism for your health condition. A book called How Not To Die - there is a great website on this also by the author. Just highlights many misconceptions around diet and health. You may find that veganism is actually a great benefit to any health issue. Looking forward to some sewing vids! It intimidates me to get a sewing machine but id love to see some tips from you! 🌻🌻
Wait when did you change your channels name? :o
But good video! :)
I really like your re- brand with your channel not to say that I didn't like your harry potter content but this video was really interesting and I had no idea about the fashion industry issues until now.
I learned about this when I did geography at GCSE and I remember watching a documentary where they interviewed people in sweat shops in Bangladesh and the worst part was most of them wanted to work longer hours as they needed the money and that sort of thing. They didn't seem to feel as though they were enslaved but rather it was a choice. The fact they don't realise they are being exploited and aren't actively fighting against it results in people assuming it's not happening or it's not a problem. It's all a mess tbh
Would you say that giving your clothes to younger relatives or charity shops is good too?:)
Hand me downs are really good, especially for children's/teens' clothes which you grow out of so quickly! To me it's about getting as much use as possible out of clothes - when I was young a lot of my clothes were already 3rd hand and then would get given to charity shops or younger cousins. Now I wear most of my clothes for years until they completely wear out, so it's not often possible to donate, but I do if I by something and then after a while decide I don't wear it :)
im wainting for that vidio
Check you Depop it’s a really cool online thrift store! Love you vids, hope all is well
I haven’t bought any clothes since January and I plan to carry on this way but when I’m older, I wish to be a costume designer in film/theatre, but how can I achieve this without contributing to textile waste? Btw I love your channel so much
There are some documentaries on Netflix about veganism that may help you, one is what the health and talks about the health benefits and another is cowspiracy which talks about the environment impact of animal agriculture. Thanks for making this video it’s great you’re so passionate about this issue, and I’m really glad to hear you’re working towards veganism xx
No need to be embarrased about the past choices, you didn't know any better. I love that you are talking about this issue, we as consumers can make at least a bit of a difference with where we choose to put or not put our money to! The outfit repeater thing… I'm a style instagrammer (kind of), and while I want to wear a bit different look every day to keep my feed interesting, I rather thrift my looks, alter the clothes if I can and mostly just learn to style things with a bit of imagination. I think these type of videos are a good addition/new way to your channel, they make me like your channel even more! ♥ Let's me thrifting trendy, shall we?
😱😱😱 this makes me so sad and angry.
i only buy second hand. Except for trousers, and socks and underwear
Oxfam have a website where you can buy second-hand clothing, nearly new and vintage.
did anyone notice the little hand wiggling in the background?
Animal shelters need blankets and fleece donations. Oh no! Did you say Primark?! I just moved to a place with a nearby Primark...I need my Harry Potter!
Anyone reading this I hope you have a good day ❤️☺️
From a gryffindor xx
how comes this video was deleted earlier?
First video got corrupted and only 5 minutes of footage uploaded so had to re-edit!
Laura Mugford oh ok i was really worried i’d missed something! 💙
Um hmm make do and mend dying for sure I'm shocked when I meet someone who can't sew a button. Smh burning stock smh the fashion industry is despicable. I think consumers are spoiled as well bc when we see items that are reasonably priced for the labor ppl are like but I can go to forever 21 and get it for less like they don't want to pay the cost of true labor. Do you still know any good sewing yt videos that helped you as a beginner?
first!
