“How to cure the shopping addiction that’s destroying our planet”

I chose this article because I make an effort to get the majority of my clothes from thrift stores but I know I am also very material sometimes and shop at places like forever 21 just because it’s easier while also being affordable. This article points out that fast fashion adds to the top 5 polluters of oil.  This problem may seem easy but changing peoples subconscious decisions and daily tendencies are tough along with how fast fashion trends change. For me, I usually wear thrifted Levis and a black tank top, but there are times when I feel pressured to change my style, and buy clothes from Brandy or Fashion Nova. I think this article makes a good point of comparing fast fashion to the problem of plastic bags because it is to the same degree.
