[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]also blame the "returners". There are people who return way more than they should, or return used things etc.

Be more selective when you purchase and do not return. Many returns get chucked. Donate your returns or consign them.[/quote]

Lol thrift stores put stuff in landfills. [/quote]
What’s the giggle for? Thrift stores do landfill a lot, but a lot of it’s the fast fashion/regular but cheaply made clothes that people donate. You can’t blame thrift stores for throwing away what won’t sell.

Fast fashion comes in for a lot of blame but I don’t think fast fashion is the biggest culprit; I agree with the people who say that our cultural addiction to more more more is probably worse. We all know people (and some of you are the people) who own 30-100 pairs of jeans, another 30-100 pairs of jeans, etc. for all their clothes. It’s literally unsustainable and the true costs to the planet and the people who live on the margins are invisible to the overcomsumer.

I think the insistence on “capsule collection” wardrobes drive away people who might consume less but don’t really want to be mentally limited to an arbitrary number of articles of clothing.

Colorful Standard offers clothing in two dozen colors but they’re made in Portugal and they ask right on their website - do you really need that? I haven’t bought from them yet so I can’t say what the quality is. [/quote]
