Sustainable Fashion vs. Fast Fashion: The Truth about Consumers and Brands

The fast fashion industry is a booming business. It’s valued at around 100 Billion Dollars, and by 2026 it could reach 133 Billion dollars. More than 100 billion items of clothing are produced each year globally. That's nearly 14 items for every human being on the planet! However, around 33% of all those clothes go to a landfill within the first year of purchase. The EPA Office of Solid Waste says that Americans throw away more than 68 pounds of clothing and textiles per person every year. In this video, we will focus on how social media is playing a role in accelerating the fast fashion industry and explore how new short-term fashion trends are emerging as a result.

🤔 You mean thrift stores anticipate 80% of everything getting shipped overseas or thrown away, yet they still charge prices that aren’t much lower than discount chains…. Here’s an idea: LOWER YOUR #%^* PRICES! So LOCAL people who are struggling can afford them. 🤯

It's sad that most factories of those "fast fashion brand" are set up in countries like India, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Myanmar etc while most consumers are from Western countries. A single person in America will produce roughly 4 to 5 waste of people combined in India. And they the audacity to teach us Environmental science 🤧
