An antidote to this is making some things yourself. It's empowering and you end up liking the thing you made more than if you'd bought it.

- hotpotamus 4y agoIf you want something done right... I find this myself now in a few things. I've taken to making Mead and seeing how much of the process I can insource. I'm currently looking at Beehives. I could even build that myself, but it seems like an easy target for outsourcing.
- lo_zamoyski 4y agoThis isn't a realistic option in general and wouldn't impact the market enough to shift company behavior. Instead, just like marketing was used to manipulate the public into bad buying habits, perhaps it may be possible to make fast fashion seem cheap and mass produced (which it is) and therefore undesirable. I.e., if you buy fast fashion, you're buying garbage and therefore dressing yourself in garbage (both true). You're also polluting the environment (true) which means climate change cache can be used profitably. Fast fashion must be seen as a kind of scam.
