Why is Fast Fashion Toxic?
Fast fashion is one of the biggest contributors to pollution. Cheap, synthetic materials are made from oil byproducts. Additionally industrial chemicals used in fast fashion often contaminate ground water in third world countries, which dramatically lowers the quality of life for the inhabitants. Most fashion ends up in landfill. Plus the cost of fast fashion is kept low by taking advantage of mostly female workers.
