Fast fashion is defined by cheap and often trending clothing that is mass produced. A lot of people buy and get these clothes because of their low prices and  affordability.  This is a problem considering that the fashion industry accounts for over 10% of global carbon emissions. We should turn to other affordable solutions like thrifting your clothing, or to up-cycling them. We also have to factor in that you don’t have to completely stop consuming fast fashion, but to try to limit your consumption, and think about the average lifecycle of your garment: Will you repeatedly wear this item? or will you shove it in your closet, never to be seen again after two weeks? In conclusion, fast fashion impacts our environment severely and we should become more conscious of this and consume more sustainable fashion.

I agree, not to mention that most clothing that comes from fast fashion rips in about a week. Thrifting is great, though unfortunately more and more fast fashion brands have been showing up in local thrift stores.
