📖 LONG READING
Fast Fashion: A Quick Choice or a Big Problem?
Fast fashion is everywhere. It offers cheap clothes and new styles every week. People love it because they can always wear something new. But behind the low price, there are problems.
Many clothes are made in factories where workers are paid very little. The materials are not sustainable, and most clothes don’t last long. People throw away clothes quickly, which creates a lot of waste.
Last year, I bought many things from fast fashion brands. But most of them didn’t last. Now, I am changing my habits. I buy fewer clothes, and I look at the labels. In the future, I will support brands that care for the planet.
