Fast fashion facts:
* People buy 60% more clothes than they did in 2000, but each item is kept only half as long
* Billions of clothes are manufactured each year and over half are thrown away
* The fashion industry employs millions of people around the world but only 2% of clothing makers earn a living wage
* 60% of new clothes are made from fossil fuels (synthetic fabrics like polyester)


You can make a difference!


And it’s not only with your purchases. Supporting ethical and sustainable alternatives to fast fashion is one great option, but you can also take care of the clothes you already have, support fair fashion legislation, and more.
