It's very tempting to throw things away or even drop them in a recycling bin when we are done with them. Is there a better way?

Fast Fashion
Fast fashion is the mass production of cheap, poor quality, disposable clothing, and sometimes made by cheap labor also called "sweatshop". Sweatshops are factory/workshop in the clothing industry where workers are employed at very low wages for long hours under poor conditions. Fast fashion was created just to be up with the trends. A limitation to fast fashion is that sweatshops have an environment that the workers are exposed to hazardous things which leads to hurting the environment as well because the workers would use toxic chemicals often used to create vibrant designs and also harms the workers. The toxic chemicals are also dumped into rivers and soils in nearby areas. Most of these fast fashion products end up in landfills leaving it with no use. Some brands either burn their products and don't even donate them. Shopping for second-hand and sustainable brands is a better solution because obsolete clothing is coming back as trendy.
