Question

Excerpt
The fashion industry’s race to produce cheap, trendy clothing is costing more than just a few dollars at the register—it’s costing the planet. Fast fashion encourages people to buy more clothes than they need, and most of it ends up in landfills within a year. In addition to creating massive textile waste, fast fashion production uses enormous amounts of water and contributes to toxic chemical pollution. While consumers may enjoy low prices and variety, we must consider whether convenience is worth the environmental damage. It's time for shoppers to demand sustainable options and change how we think about clothing.
