Read the definition of fast fashion. What are your thoughts on it?

Fast fashion is when clothing companies quickly make new clothes, often copying popular styles. They use cheap materials and labor to keep prices low. This makes it easy for people to buy and wear the latest fashion trends. However, fast fashion can harm the environment and workers. The clothes are often made in factories that use a lot of energy and water. Also, many of these clothes are made from synthetic materials, such as polyester, which do not decompose easily. This causes more waste in landfills.
