Cheap clothing that falls apart quickly

mardi 9 avril 2019 à 02:00

Many young people are addicted to buying new cheap clothing that will fall apart quickly. It reminds me of addiction to various other harmful or wasteful things, such as sugar, Facebook, and Instagram.

Here's my idea: Add a substantial, dissuasive tax to each article of new clothing, perhaps between 10 and 50 pounds depending on the kind of item. However, the tax rate should start to decrease once a product is on the market longer than two months. By the time it is on the market for four months, this tax could decrease to zero.

We could also require clothing to be sold with a guarantee against falling apart inside of six months after sale.

If that doesn't do it, I'm sure there are ways to push harder. It is a question of political will.
