Australia is the only country in the world that covers an entire continent. It is one of the largest countries on Earth. Although it is rich in natural resources and has a lot of fertile land, more than one-third of Australia is desert. Most Australian cities and farms are located in the southwest and southeast, where the climate is more comfortable. There are dense tropical rainforests in the northeast. They are the richest in plant and animal species. Subtropical rainforests are found near the mid-eastern coast. The famous outback contains the country's largest deserts, where there are high temperatures, little water, and almost no vegetation. Running around the eastern and southeastern edges of Australia is the Great Dividing Range. This 3,700-kilometre stretch of mountains sends water down into the most important rivers of Australia.

The fashion industry is considered to be one of the fastest-growing industries today, yet it has faced some significant challenges throughout its history. It's not a secret that fashion industry takes its negative toll on the environment. Clothes production cannot cope with limited water consumption, and its carbon footprint increases daily. People buy tons of cheap garments which end up in landfills in less than a month. The situation might get worse if consumers don't change their habits in the coming years. There are some healthy fashion trends that may help to make fashion sustainable. Consumers are choosing brands that do not hurt animals and the planet in the process. The younger generation chooses second-hand shopping giving clothes another life. And brands promote recycling to save on raw materials and natural resources.
