I have been consuming less clothing for awhile, but it seems fabric quality is is getting worse and worse even if I don't pay under $20 for a garment. I have something for 2 years and the fabric is so thin I can see through it. I'd love to spend more for better fabric quality - but how do I even find that? Not in any of the stores I've been to in person. It's all very frustrating. I don't want to buy trash.

very interesting and very well documented. I wonder as well if things that are sold through ecommerce could not be just natively less about materials / goods and more about a certain kind of services / intelligence / digital layers around them. It won't solve 100% of the fact that when we shop = we transform input into output therefore 'consume' the planet to some extent but might be worth exploring in terms of business model. It's also a full reconsideration of business models from logistical standpoint, as well as the notion of profits. A lot of questions on which I'm not expert but definitely worth exploring as a citizen. Merci !
