    Fast fashion shouldn't exist as it increases global warming through its negative environmental impacts. The production of fast fashion clothing requires vast resources and generates significant carbon emissions, contributing 10% of global emissions. As clothing is made to be disposable, fast fashion also leads to large quantities of textile waste ending up in landfills, where decomposing materials release methane, a potent greenhouse gas. While fast fashion provides affordable clothing and jobs, these benefits do not outweigh the threats posed to the planet by its carbon emissions and landfill waste. The fashion industry must reduce its carbon footprint and waste to address the problem of global warming.

    I’m here today to share my research.

    The focus of my report is Fast fashion shouldn’t exist as it


    increases global warming.

    Let me begin by giving you some background information. Fast fashion is a trend in the fashion
    industry that involves the rapid production and consumption of clothing.This business model
    relies on quick turnover and mass production. However, fast fashion often has negative impacts
    on both the environment and workers who make the clothes.

    Firstly, The production of fast fashion clothing requires a vast amount of resources, including
    energy, water, and raw materials. The production process generates a significant amount of
    carbon emissions, contributing to the carbon footprint of the clothing industry. According to a
    report, the fashion industry produces 10% of global carbon emissions, with the
    majority coming from the production of textiles and clothing. The report also notes that the
    production of a single kilogram of cotton fabric can generate as much as 23 kilograms of carbon
    dioxide emissions.

    Secondly, Fast fashion also contributes to the problem of landfill waste. As fast fashion clothing
    is designed to be cheap and trendy, it is often made from low-quality materials that do not last
    long. Consumers are encouraged to buy new clothing frequently, leading to the disposal of vast
    quantities of clothing. The Environmental Protection Agency reports that the United States
    produces 11.3 million tons of textile waste annually, and much of which ends up in landfills. As
    these materials decompose, they release methane, a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to
    global warming.

    Some people might think that fast fashion has a positive impact on the economy, providing jobs
    and affordable clothing to consumers. However, these benefits are outweighed by the negative
    impact on the environment. While fast fashion may provide jobs, it also contributes to carbon
    emissions and landfill waste, which pose a significant threat to the planet. Additionally, while fast
    fashion may provide affordable clothing to consumers, it also encourages a culture of
    overconsumption, where consumers are encouraged to buy more clothing than they need,
    leading to a vicious cycle of production and disposal.

    In conclusion, fast fashion shouldn’t exist as it increases global warming. The production of fast
    fashion clothing contributes seriously to carbon emissions and landfill waste, making it a major
    environmental concern. It is imperative that the fashion industry takes steps to reduce its carbon
    footprint and minimize waste in order to address the growing threat of global warming.

    That’s all I have for today. Thank you for listening.
