The United States and the Slow Fashion Caucus released the first federal report on fast fashion impact.
The first federally mandated report on the impact of fast fashion has been released, Teen Vogue can exclusively report. Rep. Chellie Pingree, who founded the Slow Fashion Caucus, requested the report from the Government Accountability Office as a way to highlight how textile waste is impacting the environment in devastating ways. Most of the top findings aren't surprising, but Pingree says having them in one place is important for coalition building and potential future legislation.
' There is already a slew of federal legislation that, if passed, could help curb the growing fast fashion problem — namely the Americas Act from American Circular Textiles, which seeks to improve recycling, and The Fabric Act, which seeks to improve domestic garment manufacturing wages and in turn create jobs.
