TL;DR

A study from Guangdong University of Technology found that wearing fast-fashion jeans just once creates a significant 2.50 kg of carbon emissions, equivalent to driving 6.4 miles in an average gasoline-powered car. The fast-fashion industry is projected to emit nearly 2.8 billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions annually by 2030. To mitigate the environmental impact, researchers suggest shopping or renting second-hand clothes and recycling jeans, advocating for a shift towards a circular fashion system.
