How does the fashion industry affect the environment?

The fashion industry produces more carbon emissions than all international flights and maritime shipments combined, with the consequences that this has on climate change and global warming.

That is why this industry is looking for ways to reduce these carbon emissions, using fabrics that come from fruit peels or recycling.

Although several people in the industry seek to help the environment, there is also what we call "fast fashion" that is used by several companies to have higher profits. "Fast fashion" is a concept that consists of producing as fast as possible to capture the trend, creating disposable products that are short-lived and that turn our closet into an environmental disaster. This means that the fabrics used do not last more than a year or only last us four to six months, which can cause greater environmental damage; Likewise, these companies often end up exploiting their workers by seeking cheap labor in less developed countries.

To prevent people from continuing to buy "fast fashion" products, it is best to identify those companies that make this type of clothing, in order to avoid buying them and not further harm the environment.
