The fashion industry is responsible for the huge consumption of water, energy, and natural resources. It also creates large quantities of pollution, hazardous chemicals, microplastics, textile waste, and greenhouse gas emissions.
It is very costly to the environment when no sustainable materials or renewable resources are used. On the other hand, the second-hand clothing industry reduces the ecological footprint of fashion.
It saves resources, pesticides, and fertilizers, reduces carbon emissions, and pollution.
