ironic is the fact, that I got an actual ad by a fashion company for a black friday sale inbetween the pictues

Never throw used clothes in the garbage. Give to other people directly or to charity. Buy second hand. As a general rule, you know what you are buying when a garment has been pre-owned as it will not shrink, twist, or bleed most of its' colour in the first wash. Those are a lot of birds with one stone, so to say.

This is not deep. Nor interesting.

I would have liked more explanation for the landfill photos. I've been researching sustainable clothing lately, and my guess is that these items supposedly just end up in landfills decomposing like a person in a Sarlacc's stomach for 1000 years, but I'd need to know the composition of the clothing. Rayon and Polyester are the worst, as far as the planet goes. Polyester blends are bad because even though 100% polyester can be recycled, blends can't be. Conventionally grown cotton isn't far behind rayon and polyester, and even bamboo isn't a good choice because of the chemicals used in creating the fabric. Silk and wool use up tons of resources. Organically grown cotton is much better than conventionally grown, but still not the best. I have read that Tencel is the best fabric for the planet -- but it's limited in its uses. I've not seen a sweater or any kind of warm fabric made with Tencel. So I think the best choices for new clothes are Tencel, organic cotton, recycled polyester.

I buy the things when I need them, nothing will change that

BUY NOTHING DAY!!!!!!!

Black Friday is pointless. People spend millions of dollars on things that are only used one week out of 52.

I've seen similar pictures at illegal border crossings.
