    It’s not even the direct to consumer stuff that is the worst offender… Ever been to a cotton on when they are putting out new shipments?

    Every single pair of underwear comes in an individual plastic bag and on a plastic hanger. The tables of folded undies? Each one was wrapped and hangered and the employees spend ages removing and disposing of layers of plastic.

    Every shirt, etc. immediately removed from the plastic bag and either hung on it’s plastic hanger or hanger removed and folded on a table.

    It’s disgusting. Multiply this by the thousands of fast fashion clothing stores and you can see how massive this problem is.
