IF FAST FASHION LABELS WERE TELLING THE TRUTH ๐๐๐
Just like cigarette companies have warning signs, should #FastFashion companies have warming labels as well? Fast fashion companies are known for their cheap and trendy #clothes, but at what cost? The fashion industry is one of the biggest #polluters in the world, and the fast #FashionIndustry is a significant contributor to this problem.

FRENCH GOVERNMENT CONSIDERS TO BAN FAST FASHION
#Shein is the largest fashion retailer in the world -- seemingly popping up everywhere overnight. It's made billions by using #ForcedLabour and churning out cheap #plastic clothes that end up in #landfills.
Governments all over the world are considering penalties for companies that produce cheap, unsustainable clothes, and the French government is deciding right now whether or not to pass a similar bill.
1/7
This would be a HUGE win for the #environment -- what happens in #France will pave the path for others to follow. But #Shein 's lobbyists are firing all cylinders to stop the law from passing.
Let's build a massive call on France and all governments to listen to us, the #consumers, not powerful #lobbyists, and protect our #planet from the harms of #FastFashion:
Tell France and all governments: crack down on fast fashion!

The #FashionIndustry is one of the biggest #polluters โ making up a staggering 10% of the worldโs #CarbonEmissions. It dries up #WaterSources, pollutes #rivers, and #MicroPlastics from clothes end up in our #oceans and #seafood.
Itโs crucial that the industry becomes green and fair.
Franceโs proposed law would completely ban fast fashion advertising and put an environmental surcharge on fast fashion items sold.

The money from the surcharge would then go to eco-friendly brands to support more sustainable fashion. It would be a game changer for how the industry operates, but only if the biggest fashion retailer stops roadblocking change.
Tell France and all governments: crack down on fast fashion!

What Does Franceโs โBanโ On Fast Fashion Really Mean?
Last month, Franceโs lower house of parliament unanimously voted in favour of a bill that aims to reduce fast fashion.
The bill is the first of itโs kind, and if approved by the senate, will see France become the first country in the world to legislate against fast fashion and its devastating impacts.

As France weighs fast-fashion ban, is the circular economy the future of retail?
This week, France announced legislation to โlimit the excesses of ultra-fast fashionโ. Key measures include a ban on advertising for cheap textiles and an environmental charge on low-cost items. While the proposed laws need to pass a vote in Franceโs senate, they signal an increased need for focus on sustainability in the retail industry.
6/7
Brands such as #Shein should be subject to penalties of up to 50% of their garments' selling price to offset their environmental impact, French ruling-majority MPs have proposed in a new bill.
The MPs say that ultra-fast fashion brands, rather than renewing their collections four times per year like traditional clothing brands, offer thousands of new products per day, inciting excessive #spending and unnecessary #pollution.
