CMV: Fast Fashion is the cause of severe negative consequences so people should thrift shop or use sustainable fashion

Fast fashion brands like Shein, Zara, Topshop are major contributors to environmental problems progressing as a result of mass production of cheap, poor quality, disposable clothing. The fashion industry as a whole creates 80 billion garments a year which is over 10 for each person on earth. The production 20 years ago has now increased by over 400%. Also with the recent production methods, there is an average of 10 times a garment is worn before it is thrown away. Since the prices of these products are decreasing, and fashion trends are accelerating, the quality of production is minimal. Majority of the time, these clothes are either disposed of through incineration or go to the landfill if they are not recycled or donated. The environmental issues that arise with these methods lead to water usage, microfibers, greenhouse gases, deforestation, toxins and even human rights issues.

This is a pretty classic case of shops do what consumers ask for. There are hundreds of clothes outlets. This isn’t like cars where they all got together to not move to electric cars and so you couldn’t vote with your wallet, this is clothes where there is no shortage of competition.

There are plenty of brands that sell high quality clothing and are fashionable people just chose cheap and low quality fashionable clothing. People that spend their whole paycheque on clothes each month and throw clothes away or dont wear them have always existed it is just becoming more fashionable and more of an issue because of the environmental impact. 

The issue is the consumer in this scenario not the business. All those companies could refocus to be higher cost higher quality lower speed of new product releases but they don’t because that isnt what people want.
