Cheap clothing is a civilizational achievement and good for human welfare.

So carbon emissions are bad, but then we should price carbon and not micromanage clothing inventory.

Clothing everyone is an achievement, but fast fashion is overshooting that target.

A bit like feeding everyone vs. having an obesity crisis.

Polyester has been a disaster for clothing. I'd love to see countries come up with a plan to cut down on the amounts of plastic crap being pumped out.
