What follows is the 6 Rs, along with a mix of Drennan's and my recommendations for sources that can you help you explore each of these Rs. Be patient and work at incorporating these into your wardrobe gradually.

下面是6个r，还有德伦南和我的一些建议，这些建议可以帮助你探索每一个r。要有耐心，慢慢地把它们融入你的衣橱。

1. Reduce

减少

The most important concept on this list is to buy less. This leads to less clutter in our closets. We can see what we own and take better care of it. We are more likely to wear the pieces we have because they don't get forgotten. Drennan writes, "Try shopping for VALUE instead of COST. Investment pieces that can be worn through the seasons for many years have a cost per wear that makes them more inexpensive than fast fashion!"

清单上最重要的概念是少买。这样可以减少我们衣柜里的杂物。我们可以看到我们所拥有的，并更好地照顾它。我们更有可能穿上我们拥有的衣服，因为它们不会被遗忘。德伦南写道:“试着为价值而不是成本购物。投资型衣服可以穿很多季，单次穿着的成本比快时尚要低!”

2. Reuse

反复使用

Wear your own clothes for longer and learn how to wash them properly to extend their life. Host a clothing swap with friends or use a bartering app. Buy clothes second-hand when you need them, either at thrift, vintage or consignment stores, or using online sites like Poshmark, ThredUp, and The Real Real.

多穿些自己的衣服，并学会如何正确清洗它们，以延长它们的寿命。和朋友交换衣服，或者使用易货软件。在需要的时候购买二手衣服，可以在旧货店、古董店或寄售店，或者使用Poshmark、ThredUp和The Real Real等网站。

3. Recycle

回收

I used to think that I could only donate clothes in wearable condition, but Drennan advises donating everything to thrift stores, regardless of its state.

我曾经认为我只能捐出可穿戴的衣服，但德伦南建议把所有东西都捐给旧货店，不管它们是什么状态。

The idea is that, by inundating thrifters with recyclable textiles, the industry and government will be forced to come up with better solutions as quickly as possible. Some recycling technologies do exist, but there hasn't been enough investment yet to help them grow significantly.

这样做的目的是，通过回收让纺织品泛滥成灾，纺织行业和政府将被迫尽快拿出更好的解决方案。一些回收技术确实存在，但没有足够的投资来帮助它们显著增长。

4. Research

调查

When you have to buy something new, take time to research and compare brands' standards for production. Many brands share this information on their websites, but a careful reading will reveal whether or not it's true or just greenwashing. See if they mention specific factory locations, adhere to respectable certifications, and pay fair wages to workers. Read reviews on repairability and durability. Companies like Everlane and Patagonia do a great job at being transparent about production. You can find lots of other great fashion providers that have been profiled on TreeHugger over the years. Visit the sustainable fashion category.

当你不得不购买新产品时，花点时间研究和比较品牌的生产标准。许多品牌在他们的网站上分享了这些信息，但是仔细阅读就会知道这是真的还是只是“漂绿”。看看他们是否提到了具体的工厂地点，是否坚持可敬的认证，是否为工人支付公平的工资。阅读有关修理性和耐久性的评论。像Everlane和Patagonia这样的公司在透明生产方面做得很好。你可以在TreeHugger网站上找到许多其他的时尚供应商。访问可持续时尚类别。

5. Repair

修复

Always try to repair your clothing and shoes before deciding to throw them out. This is a big problem with fast fashion. Because the pieces are so cheap, it's hardly worth the cost to repair, nor can the shoddy construction withstand a repair job, so many people don't bother. It's a good reason to opt for higher quality clothing.

在决定扔掉衣服和鞋子之前，一定要试着把它们修好。这是快时尚的一个大问题。因为这些零件太便宜了，根本不值得花钱去修理，而且这些粗制滥造的建筑也经不起修理，所以很多人都懒得费事了。这是选择高质量衣服的一个很好的理由。

6.Rent

租

The clothing rental market is one of 3 trends in sustainable fashion that Triple Pundit says to watch for in 2019. I believe it! Lately I've been seeing all kinds of mentions of rental businesses and fashion libraries across North America and Europe. This notion is not really that far removed from other things that we rent in our society these days, like housing and transportation.

服装租赁市场是三权威人士预测2019年可持续时尚的三大趋势之一。我相信它!最近，我在北美和欧洲看到了各种各样关于租赁业务和时尚图书馆的说法。这个概念和我们现在社会上的其他租赁事物并没有太大的区别，比如住房和交通。
