While I researched this video, I realized that Lacoste sucks.

I always had a hunch, since they’re a big company, but reading about it just made it more real. And the problem is bigger than this shirt.

Fashion pollutes the planet more than the shipping and air industries combined. It’s also responsible for 20% of the world’s wastewater.

The worst of it is that, now, we make and buy clothes faster than ever before. There’s even a term for it: fast fashion and it’s revolutionizing how we dress.

Two companies are leading the way in this revolution. ASOS and Shein dominate fast fashion. They’re worth billions and show no signs of slowing down. So, how did we get here?
