Every year, high schools have dances in which many students purchase a new outfit, only to wear it once and toss it later. Buying clothes that will only be worn once or twice before being disposed of is what fuels the fast fashion industry and thus creating more waste that harms animals, environments, and the planet as a whole. Fast fashion is becoming (and already is) an increasingly large contributor to unnecessary waste and pollution worldwide. Purchasing lightly-used, pre-loved attire for formal events is a great way to connect with other students as well as help keep both yours and their clothes out of the landfill.
