Topic: Lifestyle
Author: The Oregonian
Title: Commentary: Fast fashion vs. thrifting: A solution to the industry’s failings
Takeaway: "Thrift shops offer something different. Instead of piling up in landfills, donated products counter growing fast fashion, promoting sustainability and affordability (most thrift shops have much lower prices than retail stores)."

Topic: Lifestyle
Author: The Guardian
Title: Antidote to fast fashion: eight ways to spot durable garments
Takeaway: "The simplest antidote to fashion’s impacts is wearing clothes for longer. A 2017 study found extending the life of a garment by just nine months could reduce its carbon, waste and water footprints by up to 20%."

Topic: Climate crisis
Author: EL PAÍS
Title: Where do the clothes go after we put them in a recycling bin? An 11-month investigation covering thousands of kilometers
Takeaway: "The root problem, according to experts, is the unbridled production of cheap clothing. They say that, despite the current system’s failings, depositing garments in donation containers is still the most sustainable option."
