This country is standing up to polluting, wasteful fast fashion brands

This gives our planet a fighting chance. Fast Fashion Companies Are Killing Our Planet. France Could Become the First Country to Pass Laws Curbing the Industry's Excess.      Sign Now      Arfin,   Fast fashion's cheap, unethical production practices not only create massive amounts of emissions — they're also overflowing landfills with rotting clothes that were maybe worn once, if at all. It's an environmental nightmare.   The industry's business model encourages overconsumption and inevitably leads to higher volumes of discarded clothing heading to landfills. But it also makes competition from smaller, sustainable brands simply impossible. The last thing we need is for fast fashion brands, that have horrific emissions rates and despicable working conditions, to have a total monopoly on the fashion industry. Luckily, France is setting an incredible precedent for how to deal with this growing issue. The country's lower house of parliament has voted to limit fast fashion's damage by banning advertising on extremely cheap textiles, and applying an environmental charge on low-cost items that will go to subsidies for more environmentally sustainable companies.   This is huge, for people and planet alike.
