The true cost
When I was a child, my mom told me about the factories where the clothes are produced (in Spanish, these factories are named like "Maquilas"). In these factories, the salary is very low and the work conditions are so bad, also they don´t care where the waste is discarded, which is another problem for the environment. They choose third world countries to take advantage of the lack of resources and labor policies.
The shops I'm talking about are H&M, Zara, F21, among others, and even small clothing companies. They hire factories in these underdeveloped countries, usually in the Middle East, to earn a high percentage of profit.
Some time ago I watched a video on YouTube about this problem and I remembered what my mom said to me.I won't lie, I've got some clothes from shops of my country, but I'm trying to find more alternatives like make thrift shopping so I don't have to buy there. It's a bit bad for me because I'm short and most of the clothes are large, however I've found some stores that I like.
I recommend you the documentary The True Cost. In this film you can know the social and environmental impacts this industry has.
