Fast fashion creates negative impacts that are bad for the environment in various ways:
It encourages excessive use, resulting in millions of tonnes of clothing ending up in landfills each year, creating enormous greenhouse gas emissions.
Its clothing contributes to pollution by releasing harmful chemicals, dyes into streams and microplastics into the oceans, endangering marine life.
Its manufacture requires a lot of water, energy, and resources, which could lead to water shortages and natural resource depletion.
The fast fashion cycle, from manufacture to disposal, accounts for 10% of global carbon emissions, speeding up climate change.
