Petition: Support France in Standing Up to Fast Fashion

The fast fashion industry has sneakily made overconsumption and lightning-fast fashion trends seem normal. For example, fast fashion giant Shein publishes over 7,000 new products on its website daily, rarely for more than $10 a piece. This encourages overconsumption and drives prices into a place where smaller, sustainable brands simply cannot compete and have to fold. The last thing we need is for fast fashion brands, that have horrific emissions rates and despicable working conditions, to have a total monopoly of the fashion industry.

Luckily, France is setting an incredible precedent for how to deal with this growing issue. The country’s lower house of parliament has voted to limit fast fashion’s power — namely by banning advertising on extremely cheap textiles, and applying an environmental charge on low-cost items that will go to subsidies for more sustainable companies.

This is amazing — but these measures still need to pass the Senate, so we can’t let the pressure up just yet!

Among the measures is also a mandate forcing companies to divulge to consumers exactly what the environmental impact of their production is.

Please sign this petition to urge France’s Senate to vote YES on these measures that would slow the uncontrolled burn of fast fashion.
