Of course my labor law project is over labor exploitation and fast fashion. This stuff is really crazy when you dive deep. Makes me wanna never buy from certain companies.
I advise everybody to thrift. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌚" title="Neumond mit Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Neumond mit Gesicht"> you may be more stylish that way. and at least you won’t be subjecting humans in sweatshops to possible lead poisoning and 60 cents x 12 hour shifts. some of which may be children https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌚" title="Neumond mit Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Neumond mit Gesicht">
even if you don’t want used clothes you could also do better by buying domestically and/or supporting smaller clothing producers/houses. people who cut and sew themselves.
Besides. H&M and Forever 21 is not doing it for y’all no more. or at least it shouldn’t be https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit FreudentrĂ€nen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit FreudentrĂ€nen">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit FreudentrĂ€nen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit FreudentrĂ€nen">
even N*ke (who takes 90 percent of my money) has been tied to allegations of government funded “work study” programs that were just hidden plans to take school children to factories for forced labor. subjecting them to excessive fours of mandatory overtime. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌚" title="Neumond mit Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Neumond mit Gesicht">
fast fashion is very cheap. doesn’t hold up. You’re paying 12 dollars for pants after the mark up. those pants are probably really worth 1.00. put them back. they’ll rip soon.
I advocate for reselling/thrifting because that same dollar could get you a pair of vintage pants somewhere. pants that have clearly lasted and will continue to do so. and it’s eco friendly https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😄" title="LĂ€chelndes Gesicht mit geöffnetem Mund und lĂ€chelnden Augen" aria-label="Emoji: LĂ€chelndes Gesicht mit geöffnetem Mund und lĂ€chelnden Augen">
Rant over. Lesson: know where your money is going. i’m talking to myself as well. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌚" title="Neumond mit Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Neumond mit Gesicht"> research materials used/manufacturing practices of said company.
