    Fast fashion has a significant negative impact on the environment by producing massive amounts of textile waste, polluting water sources, and emitting high carbon emissions. The fashion industry is the second largest polluter globally. Fast fashion relies on long work hours, child labor, and poor working conditions in some countries to produce clothing at low costs. Clothing production has doubled in recent years while the number of garments ending up in landfills has also increased dramatically. Choosing eco-friendly fabrics, buying second-hand clothing, supporting sustainable brands, and recycling or donating old clothes can help reduce fast fashion's environmental footprint.
