Environmentalists are worried about fast fashion. Cheap clothes are damaging the environment. Companies make 100 billion items of clothing every year. Many clothes are not recycled. They go to landfills. Chemicals used to make clothes damage the health of clothes factory workers, including children.

People used to go to stores and try clothes on. They wore clothes for longer. Today, people take clothes back if they don't like them, or never wear them. We have a throwaway society. Four million tons of clothing ends up in the trash. Less than one per cent of this is recycled." This is not sustainable.
