The Ugly Truth Of Fast Fashion | Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj | Netflix

who the hell only wears clothes a couple of times? My clothes go through seven stages of grief. They start out as date clothes, become work clothes, then bumming around the house clothes, then wife "you should throw that away" clothes, then 'dirty' work clothes, and finally rags.

As a Filipino, I just discovered we have helped reduce carbon footprints so much. First, we ain't throwing clothes just after a couple of times wearing them. No, we use them as long as they are not falling apart yet. Then, we use them as rags. And hey, we love our ukay-ukays (second hand clothes shops)!

[@Twenty_Nine_Pigeons]

All Asians do ;)

[@muhibkhan6528]

It's great to hear that many Filipinos are embracing sustainable fashion practices by reusing and repurposing clothing, and by shopping at secondhand stores. By doing so, you are helping to reduce the environmental impact of the fashion industry and promoting sustainability. As I mentioned earlier, the production and disposal of clothing can have a significant impact on the environment, particularly due to the release of greenhouse gases and the generation of textile waste. By using clothing for as long as possible and finding ways to repurpose or recycle it, we can all contribute to reducing this impact. Secondhand stores like ukay-ukays are also a great way to reduce the environmental impact of the fashion industry, as they offer a more sustainable alternative to buying new clothing. By choosing to shop secondhand, you can extend the lifespan of clothing and reduce the demand for new production. Overall, it's inspiring to see that many Filipinos are taking steps to promote sustainable fashion practices. By continuing to embrace these practices and encouraging others to do the same, we can all contribute to a more sustainable future.

[@victoriastafford4188]

Actually it's more complicated than that. Fast fashion also includes dirt cheap clothes that fall apart after 3-5 wears, and companies have an incentive to make clothes that fall apart easily so people have to re-purchase their wardrobes. Often you find that middle-to-upper class folks are able to purchase higher-quality clothing (though arguably in excess), while lower-income folks can't -- this traps lower-income folks in a cycle of purchasing fast fashion on a regular basis regardless of what's in style or not.

17:11 Damn. I live in Kenya and this is a big problem. Clothes are sent to the country and it killed our local industries; from cotton farms to the point of sale. Even now I'm wearing something from outside the country. The paradox again is that thousands of families rely on selling the clothes that are shipped in in bulk. We're between a rock and a hard place where donations with good intentions somehow destroy local buinesses at the same time.

[@curtisalex456]

@ Kraig Ochieng, Over 20 years ago, i watched a documentary of how France was dumping clothes in western Africa. At the time, french ministers were asked if they were aware that "they" were killing the local industries. The french ministers responded that "they" were well aware of the consequences of this policy (back then this industry was supported by the french government) but "they" have to save french jobs (which were mostly charity workers). As a young lad, i remembered thinking " you, selfish A-holes".

This video is so inspirational. I’ve changed my mind a lot after watching this. I never follow any trend or catch up with the latest designs like a lot of people around me, especially my peers. Sometimes I feel insecure because I have nothing good or new or fashionable to wear for special occasions because I never ask for new clothes from my parents, so I keep wearing the same clothes for 6-7 years. But now I feel I have always doing the right thing for the environment: buy less, use longer. I am considering buying the next shirts and pants at a second-hand store as Hasan advised. Thanks for all the things you shared us. I never thought a person can have such big impact on the planet like this.

Thread, fabric, and other materials can be made into clothing, rather than purchased from a company. The same process can be used to repair clothing and extend its life.

I watched this week’s film, “The Ugly Truth of Fast Fashion” on how horrible the short style enterprise model is so damaging to society and the environment. Hasan Minhaj did a great job at exposing the cruel realities of the cheap fast fashion industry that so many people buy into. I didn’t know that many stores that market to be environmentally friendly are actually fast fashion stores in disguise. It's sad to see how the environment and people are being exploited and abused in horrible conditions in order for people who are more fortunate to be able to buy clothes at a slightly more affordable price. The fact is, people like the constant change of fashion and buying new things is what fuels the fast fashion industry and culture which promotes this work environment. The capability of these companies to exploit people through predatory tactics is scary to think about because of the power and wealth that they hold. The people working in these conditions have no other choice but to work and these companies are taking advantage of this fact. The environmental problems caused by this rampant consumerism of clothes is the immense use of water to produce cotton and the materials for these clothes. Before this film, I didn’t know that so many people don’t even use 1/2 of the garments they currently bought more than three times which is crazy to think about. One thing that I have been starting to do is to thrift for clothes instead of buying new clothes. Watching these films and learning from this course has solidified my view that lifestyle changes are the first steps towards climate action. I enjoyed watching this week’s film and I hope that more people will be exposed to the issues created by our clothing lifestyle.

As a 40 year old who's still wearing his clothes from high school, I feel completely vindicated after watching this.

[@korenn9381]

I was mid thirties when I wore out my first pair of shoes instead of growing out of them. They lasted almost 20 years before falling apart. In the mean time, my daughter has more pairs of shoes at age 8 than I've had full stop. Shit's ridiculous, yo.

Jesus, I can't imagine having enough money to buy that many items of clothing a year.

Grey Aria we don’t...it’s called credit.

Thats why they buy cheaply from h&m

[@chestersnap]

See, that's the scary thing. 68 is the _average_ . I don't buy near that many articles of clothing a year which means either someone else had to buy way more or the people who shop like that as a whole buy more than 68 articles a year

And I’m sitting here like... 70% of my clothes are literally hand me downs. The other 20% is like new underwear, socks, bras, and like a new pair of shoes each year because I will wear and tear shoes when I get them till the end.

[@ChangedNames]

You have new underwear and socks?! My parents like forced bought them for me cuz they knew I'd never buy any myself..... Like the mall is 10 minutes away and I'd rather sleep tbh

[@canned_can_chan4590]

@@ChangedNames lol i used to be like that too. So now i'll wear my undies untill they rip

[@shairaahmed4853]

I hate going bra shopping. It's lowered humiliating because I often can't find my size and have practically no choice. (32 DD or E) I'm 17 now and the bras I have are from 2/3 years ago. I know it's so bad for me so I don't wear them I just chill in these spandex loose sporty type bras. As for underwear I've had o buy that because my hips have grown astronomically through the past 3 years. My clothes are market material made by my grandma and or seamstress that lives near my house. I wear abayas which is basically a long black dress and my scarves are also from the market. The rest of my clothes like bags, jackets coats etc are handmedowns from my aunt who was extremely stylish in her youth so I have some cute vintage pieces. I only have shoes and even then I have like 3 pairs and wear them until they rip hahaha. I hate shopping- online shopping is even worse.

I think in the first world countries, in india u pay the normal first world country price plus indian tax price added together making it unaffordable, example latest ipad is 50k will become 70k in india.

In Spain its actually quite affordable cuz its a chain store there. But when it comes to the u.s. its pretty expensive

[@Anankin12]

To be honest, Zara and H&M are the cheapest clothing store I've ever been in, and I don't like to wear expensive clothings. Nor exceedingly cheap ones, because I'd be throwing them out in like 2 weeks because they tear.

“I can’t believe a kid made that.” I feel like I want to cry. The audience laughed but do they not realised that it’s true?

[@lolawhiterabbit]

Holy shit, I’ve been part of the solution this whole time. My clothes last me a long time, we pretty much pass down our clothes that don’t fit to each other, We mend other clothes into something new, and sometimes we buy stuff at the thrift stores (hey there are some cute shit there, sometimes). So I feel a little better, I may not be rocking new clothes each week but I still look fly.

[@edendsouza1468]

and if the cloth is still clean, use them as cleaning rags and doormats! sometimes we girls take the goodlooking old clothes and make doll dresses.

[@veronamartin5285]

Twice a year, my girlfriends and I comb through our closets. We bag items we are done with then pass the bags around our circle. I love to sew and upcycle my clothing. I shop second hand stores but find that sometimes their idea of a quality item is way over priced for something that was donated. I used hold a cloth sale twice a year when I worked at a hotel. We had 40 women sign up to sell their own clothing etc for a one day sale. It was amazing. I'd sell enough articles & reinvest my money purchasing from the other sellers. Left over clothing was either packed back up and taken home or the seller had the choice of donating it to the Canadian Diabetes Association. They in turn sell it & get paid by the pound. We stopped holding the sales when my friend who helped me wanted to concentrate on starting her family. She & her husband welcomed a son early last January. By then, I had left my job at the Hotel. We were allowed to use the ballroom at no charge. Each seller paid $20. That money was spent renting clothing racks, advertising and snacks etc.

Giiiiirl!! Same! My sister and I trade clothes and buy them mostly from thrift stores! My wardrobe is mostly hand me downs and I’ve had most of them for so long because I wear them a lot and wash them less! I even handwash some of them so they can last longer!

[@misspad7282]

I found a beautiful Prada black skirt at Goodwill years ago for $4.00. I didn't even know what Prada was, just thought it was a nice looking skirt that was well made. It is a hit or miss, but if you look enough on a regular basis, you will find something worth buying.

Loved this, lots of things to think about. I remember being in The Gap about 15 or so years ago, they were running a huge sale. There was a teen girl there with her mother and there literally was a pile of clothing they were going to purchase, sitting at the cash register. Probably more clothes than most people would buy in a year. And it just keeps getting worse. I love the way he took the facts and figures and made it memorable. Definitely will make me think about how often I purchase, what I purchase and what I do with it after. Bravo!

[@shravyab6696]

I loved the info provided in this episode. It made us 'woke' about the carbon footprint situation. But also psychologically it has to be starting with the influencers too. Not just instagram but popular culture has been telling people that if they're rich they have to appear out there with poppin' new looks?! Start from scratch, repeat clothes in videos, shows, etc because your contents matter more than your clothes. This is not just for Hasan, this is for anybody. We're all those people who have been anxious every morning preparing to wear that dress you didn't wear two days ago, let's try and do our part, wear more cotton, not be obsessed with wearing new for the cameras.

[@helenl3193]

Absolutely! Ive been eyeing up Christmas jumpers, as the 2 I've got have been worn to many parties/meals before, but they're still fit for purpose so I'm going to stick with them this year, not buy something new. I'm on a budget so I'd only end up getting something plastic-based, I'll stick with my tried and true wool until I can replace it with something of equal quality - that will last me a decade as well!
