Fast fashion is a worldwide environmental problem, in Mexico it isn’t as big of an issue because
the country´s economy doesn’t allow us to massively buy and throw away pounds of clothes
every month but is a very important issue in more developed countries where economic stability
allows people to buy a lot of clothing for cheap and because of its bad textile quality it just ends
up breaking after the 3rd wear if not before, this kind of clothing isn’t suitable for thrifting so
there’s also the concern that someday thrift stores will have to shut down since all clothes are
disposable and nothing or very little clothes end up on the 2nd hand market
These useless piles of cheap plastic clothes end up burned in poor European countries and end up
being used as a combustion material to warm people up from the shivering cold, inhaling burnt
plastic is not good for the lungs so this also may impose a health issue and in the future people
who breathed burn fabric for a long time will have health repercussions just as inhaling
burnt carbon for a long time did to people in the past centuries.
