Fast fashion vs. Thrifting

ILEUBOD

One large contributor to co2 emissions is fast fashion. These clothes are marketed as cheap and trendy, but they don't last and are harmful to the environment. Many people ignore this because they are attracted to the low cost of these clothes. Another way to find clothing at a low cost is thrifting. Thrifting is a good way to get clothing for cheaper without taking a large toll on the environment. We already have more clothes than we need in our world, so we don't need to be adding to that by buying low-quality clothing just because of it's price. Instead we can thrift used clothing that is higher quality and in many cases will last longer.

yooo you're so right about this! i used to be all about fast fashion because it was cheap and looked good but then i realized how trash the quality is - like stuff literally falls apart after a few washes. thrifting is where it's at though, you can find some actually fire pieces for way less and you're not adding to all the waste. plus thrifted fits just hit different, way more unique than wearing the same shein stuff as everyone else lol. fast fashion brands really got us thinking we need new clothes every week but thrifting proves that's cap. wink
