Petition: Demand Change From Shein For Destorying The Planet

The horrific impacts of fast fashion on the environment are no secret. By producing Apparel and garments, massive amounts of greenhouse gas emissions enter the atmosphere, water sources are depleted, and carcinogenic chemicals, dyes, salts, and heavy metals are dumped into waterways.

Shein, one of the largest online shopping companies in the world, is releasing 700 to 1,000 new products a day. Estimates suggest the company is producing a whopping 35,000 to 100,000 articles of clothing every single day. On top of that, consumers throw away about 60% of the clothes that they buy within the same year, said care2.

The volume of textiles in US landfills has nearly doubled over the past two decades, and Shein is contributing tremendous waste, says Wired. The fashion industry produces 20 percent of global wastewater and 10 percent of global carbon emissions. Shein’s business model depends on a degree of relentless consumption and waste. Sign this petition to demand that Shein take responsibility and prioritize sustainability!
