I knew fast fashion was awful.

I didn't realise the scale of the problem.

"Today, three-fifths of all clothing ends up in landfills or incinerators within a year of production—a statistic that translates into a truckload of used clothing dumped or burned every second."

I used to work on the website of a large high fashion company that rhymes with 'Bucci". They refused to sell second quality of anything. A 40000 Euro fur coat (i know) would get burned if there was a single stich missing in the lining. Whole truckloads of "simple" things would be burned for a consistent flaw in the colour etc.
