    I'm retired so not really concerned about fast fashion, however I will be more careful to think about sustainability when I do purchase new clothing and will keep clothes longer by taking better care of them.  I did look at some websites of companies that sell clothing that meet sustainability criteria and will pass these on to my teenage daughter.  She already shops at thrift/resale shops and buys used and up-cycled clothing.
