We've all had those moments, looking back at old photos and wondering, "What was I thinking?" Trends that were once the height of fashion can quickly become cringe-worthy memories. From leisure suits and layered tees to dresses over jeans and the all-denim look, our fashion choices often change as rapidly as the seasons.
What you might not know is that the fashion industry is the world's second-largest polluter, right behind the oil industry. Creating our favorite clothes consumes enormous amounts of energy, water, and resources, leading to significant waste. In fact, textiles account for 5% of landfill space in the U.S., with the average American discarding over 80 pounds of clothing annually. This constant cycle of trends not only drains our wallets but also takes a heavy toll on our planet.
As trends come and go, so do our wardrobes. On average, Americans dispose of about 81 pounds of clothing each year. While scoring a deal on a new sweater feels great, the true cost is far greater. Dive into the fashion waste filling our closets and landfills, and discover 30 surprising sustainable fashion facts that might just change the way you shop. Let’s make sustainable fashion the new evergreen trend.
