Fast fashion - wearing out the planet

&
 

ABSTRACT

Living irresponsibly for today’s trends will deprive us of tomorrow’s future. Fast fashion is grossly wasteful, environmentally damaging, and outright unsustainable; its negative impacts are not just the overproduction of garments. Yet slowing down fast fashion is an effort that every one of us can execute. This paper highlights the environmental, social, and economic damage fast fashion causes. Once educated, each responsible person can counter fast fashion with better-quality slow fashion.
