The fashion industry

Fast fashion and fashion in general is harming our planet and is one of the second dirtiest industries. "Fashion is a complicated business involving long and varied supply chains of production, raw material, textile manufacture, clothing construction, shipping, retail, use and ultimately disposal of the garment". Many people don't realize or aren't informed that it takes up to 5,000 gallons to create a shirt...This is outrageous! Not only are we harming our planet by intoxicating it, but were being wasteful. I agree with Fisher's opinion about this industry. This world of fashion is a mess! We use a crazy "amount of natural resources used in extraction, farming, harvesting, processing, manufacturing and shipping". My opinion towards this is we can't stop producing clothing, but we can't stop how they are poorly being made. We should eliminate the parts that are harming our planet and turn them Eco-friendly. Another alternative is that we should as well produce clothing using other materials. Overall, I feel like more designers should deal with the true facts about this industry.
