reply to this student: Over the last decade, there has been a noticeable increase in fast fashion consumerism in first-world countries, but what happens when you decide you no longer want these trend-heavy, cheaply made fashion pieces? Clothes that you donate have a high possibility of being shipped off to West Africa and Dubai. Ghana has the largest second-hand clothing trade market, but lately, these market workers have been struggling to make an income due to the condition of the clothing. They also receive TONS of clothing items on a regular basis. Due to these issues, 150 tucks full of clothing waste are sent to dumping grounds in Ghana. There are mountains of clothes now at every beach in Ghana, posing a huge health hazard because some of the clothes are traveling through sewer systems and ending up on the beach. This is ruining the beautiful coast of Ghana and greatly impacting impoverished areas (and the whole country at this rate). Many fast fashion clothes are also made with undecomposable materials, so mountains of clothes have to be burned, impacting greenhouse gas emissions even more. Microfibers are also entering the ocean
