We hear alot of cows...and meat eating, but fast fashion has just as much or even more of a detriment to the environment ...so could you?

I can't make the Poll Public after it's posted (presumably because if people had voted thinking it was private then it would be unfair to then make votes public)

i think its a matter of freedom and i am not a supporter of freedoms being removed.

There comes a point where we have to say is life worth living if we have to give up things that individuals really enjoy.

So, while fashion doesn't impact me i know for sure it affects many, so i would support their right to express themselves as they want to as often as they want.

There should be more effort put in to clothes recycling I think, keep everyone happy

I think I could since when I buy clothes (and trainers too) I do try and make them last as long as I can.
