Fashion's Hidden Costs

The fashion industry produces a staggering 100 billion garments annually, yet 20 billion go unsold and are often destroyed. The average garment is worn only seven times before being discarded, contributing to environmental damage through microfibers released during washing. With 60% of our clothing made from polyester—a petroleum-based material that never biodegrades—it's crucial to reconsider how we approach clothing consumption and disposal.
