More details
Fast fashion ultimately involves severly underpaid workers and sometimes even child workers. It is also one of the biggest contributions to climate change, the chemicals used to create these clothing items contribute to the green house gases that are destroying our plane. The industry also sends 10,000 clothing items to landfills every 5 minutes playing a major role in waste issues in Britain. It is also one of the biggest causes of water waste with around 20% of water used being wasted.
