Fast Fashion Crisis exposes the devastating environmental and ethical consequences of our demand for cheap, trendy clothing. The book examines the economic drivers, environmental toll, and social injustices embedded within the fast fashion system. Did you know that textile production contributes significantly to water pollution and carbon emissions?
Or that garment workers often face labor exploitation and unsafe working conditions? This book challenges the notion that cheap clothing equates to consumer benefit, revealing the true costs borne by the environment and vulnerable populations.
The book begins by tracing the historical roots of the industry and detailing global supply chains. It progresses through three major sections, examining the environmental impacts of textile production, the ethical dimensions of labor practices, and the economic factors perpetuating the cycle. Through scientific studies, human rights reports, and economic analyses, Fast Fashion Crisis provides a comprehensive overview, offering practical steps for individuals, businesses, and policymakers to mitigate the crisis through sustainable materials, circular economy models, and ethical consumerism.
