In fact, it is already happening on a smaller extent - people recycling old clothing/material, cutting them apart and putting together a new top/outfit. It gives you something unique altogether. Additionally, the world is increasingly moving towards the 'eco' direction. We now have environmentally friendly bags in the high fashion scene, beginning with Anya Hindmarch's "I'm not a plastic bag" bag. 2. Yes. People of the 'higher class' tend to want to maintain their image. 3. I have no answer to this yet. 4. In Singapore, we have 'clean and green' campaigns such as the 3Rs - Reduce, reuse and recycle. People from volunteer groups go down to school and give talks, posters plastered everywhere, and recycling bins deployed within walking distance of several housing estates. The use of plastic bags have also been reduced as the local stores have been encouraged to charge for plastic bags after customers make their purchases. Certain stores also give discounts when customers bring their own reusable bags. 5/6. No answer to these as I don't wear jewelry. (: 1. Indeed, yes.

Yes, I think it will become even more of a fad. I'm sure I've heard of some designers doing it already. People who don't really care about the environment will become "green" just because it's trendy. 2. I think class does play some part in what people buy, but can most people even afford high-class things? 3. I don't think much more than what we already do could be done. 4. I think my country makes it easy to recycle: recycling bins are common in public places and each household's recycle bins are picked up along with the garbage. I also see quite a bit of advertising for the 3 R's (reduce, reuse, recycle) to encourage recycling. 5. I would judge the jewelery by how it looks, not what it's made of, but I think a precious metal piece would be more attractive to me. 6. If it looked good... :P 1.
