Script:
“Fast fashion” – the term used for the mass production of cheap and low-quality clothes. These products can hit the stores only weeks after new trends emerge. This is bad for the environment because clothes productions require tons of water and energy. Making these clothes also creates toxic substances, most of which are released into rivers causing water pollution. With the rise of online shopping, fast fashion leads to unhealthy shopping habits. Customers often buy more clothes, which are worn fewer times because of poor quality. Many clothes get thrown away as soon as a new trend comes along. Every year, tons of fabric waste end up in landfills. Experts warn against buying from brands who use this strategy as the fashion industry is on track to increase its global emissions by 50% in the near future.
