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."

The saddest part is that clothes made in the 1930s-1960s (a bit beyond that for more expensive stuff) were far more beautifully made, from finer, lovelier, longer wearing materials.

Built to Last isn't even frugality! Built to Last because it's BETTER.
