Fast fashion is one of many major threats to our planet. From the carbon and microplastic pollution involved with the creation, to the 81 pounds of clothing the average American throws away yearly. And this is not all, synthetic fabrics that are used to make cheaper clothing are plastic and can take up to 1,000 years to decompose. By signing this pledge, you are committing to living more sustainably.
