Environmental Impacts of the Fast Fashion Industry and How You Can Help
Fast Fashion Industry
The fast fashion industry is responsible for a significant amount of pollution and waste. The lack of awareness and education about this issue contributes to its perpetuation. Our goal is to spread awareness of the devastating effects fast fashion has on the environment while connecting individuals with the resources they need in order to help alleviate these effects.
Corporations often take shortcuts in producing clothing in order to maximize their profits, however this leaves lasting effects on our environment.
Donating, thrifting, and reselling are all great ways to get involved in helping alleviate the effects caused by fast fashion.
