Overconsumption
I think that people should start thinking about how much clothing they are buying and if it's really worth the money and environmental impact.
There are a number of things people can do to help reduce overconsumption - 1) start thrifting!! - it has like no environmental impact, there are some great finds, and is way cheaper! Why not switch to thrifting now?? 2) buy from environmentally friendly companies! - if you have some issues with buying second hand consider buying from companies that source their products in a way that helps, or has doesn't have much of an environmental impact. 3) don't buy so much!!! - consider if you really need to buy that pair of 12th pair of jeans. It helps the planet and is kind to your closet!
These are a few things you can do to help with the overconsumption epidemic.
I completely agree. I think thrifting is a great way to produce less waste and to stop fast fashion. Buying from thrift stores is also a good way to save money because it tends to be cheaper as well. You can also donate all of your old clothes to thrifts instead of just throwing them away. Especially items that you only wore once to an event or just ended up not liking. I also completely agree with your third point. I find it so stupid when people spend money on items they already have. Especially if there was nothing wrong with the first few items.
