exploring the environmental impact of fast fashion

What inspired you to explore the environmental impact of fast fashion in your essay? So it's been something of mine that has been a growing passion. I've started a couple little startups around fast fashion and trying to spread awareness about just kind of the dangers that come with it. But it kind of stemmed from— I've always been someone who like loves shopping and kind of fell into this culture of overconsumption. And I remember like when I was in 6th grade, I like found Shein when it was like super new. Whoa, that's crazy. You found Shein in 6th grade? Yeah, I was, I was literally a kid and I was like, wow, a sweater for $10. This is awesome. Like without realizing the impact of how that sweater is made for $10. And I remember I was like, this is great. I'm going to start shopping like this all the time. But then I quickly realized, like once I got a little bit older, I was like, oh, none of this is very ethical.
