Sabrina Carrillo+FollowFactory Workers Snap Over Broken PromisesImagine being so fed up at work that you literally hold your boss hostage!

These workers are tired of the fast-fashion grind: low pay, long hours, and zero respect. This protest is a wake-up call about how our cheap clothes come at a big human cost. Maybe it’s time to rethink our shopping habits? #FastFashion #WorkersRights #SustainableFashion #Safety70Share
William Vasquez+FollowNike Factory Fainting Scandal ExposedDid you know workers at Nike factories in Cambodia are still fainting on the job, even after years of promises to improve conditions?

Fast fashion’s dark side is real, and it’s not just about the clothes—it’s about the people making them. Rethinking those shopping habits yet? #FastFashion #Nike #LaborRights #Health328Share
Timothy Bird+FollowThe Real Price of $7 Shein TopsEver wonder how Shein keeps those $7 tops so cheap? Turns out, workers in 'Shein Village' near Guangzhou are putting in marathon 14-hour days, with barely any time off, just to keep up with our online shopping sprees. Sure, they earn more than the local minimum, but at what cost? All those quick trends mean more waste, too. Next time you shop, maybe try thrifting or investing in pieces that last—your wallet and the planet will thank you! #FastFashion #Shein #Thrifting #Business2910Share

If you want to shop guilt-free, try trading in old clothes or buying secondhand. Your wallet (and the planet) will thank you! #FastFashion #SustainableStyle #EcoFriendly #Business00Share

Richard Jones+FollowWhy Your Old Clothes Aren’t Really RecycledEver thought your donated clothes were getting a second life? Turns out, only 1% of Europe’s textile waste is actually recycled into new fibers! Most of our old clothes end up shipped overseas or shredded into low-quality stuff like car rags. The tech to recycle better exists, but it’s just too expensive right now. If we invested more, up to 70% could be recycled! Until then, thrifting and buying secondhand is the move—plus, it can save you serious cash. Wild, right? #TextileWaste #SustainableFashion #Thrifting #Recycling #FastFashion #Safety90Share
