How Fast Fashion Is Destroying the Planet (Published 2019).                                                               There is that old saying, usually attributed to Yves Saint Laurent: “Fashion fades, style is eternal.”

Literally speaking, that actually may no longer be true, especially when it comes to fast fashion. Fast-fashion brands may not design their clothing to last (and they don’t), but as artifacts of a particularly consumptive era, they might become an important part of the fossil record.

More than 60 percent of fabric fibers are now synthetics, derived from fossil fuels, so if and when our clothing ends up in a landfill (about 85 percent of textile waste in the United States goes to landfills or is incinerated), it will not decay.

Nor will the synthetic microfibers that end up in the sea, freshwater and elsewhere, including the deepest parts of the oceans and the highest glacier peaks. Future archaeologists may look at landfills taken over by nature and discover evidence of Zara.

The film showcases heartbreaking scenes of marine animals suffering due to plastic pollution. Sea turtles mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, birds feed plastic to their chicks, and whales wash ashore with stomachs full of plastic waste. Microplastics, tiny fragments of broken-down plastic, have infiltrated even the most remote ecosystems, threatening biodiversity.

The environmental cost of fast fashion.                               The video effectively highlights the critical issue of clothing overproduction and waste, a growing environmental and economic concern. It presents a well-rounded perspective on how the fast fashion industry drives excessive manufacturing, leading to vast amounts of discarded textiles that are difficult to recycle.
