I was doing research for my blog when I stumbled across a staggering amount of evidence that an increasing number of brands are deliberately trashing their own products to create scarcity and drive prices up.

We’re talking about an incredible carbon footprint that goes into creating products that go straight to landfills.

How is this even legal?

    You can stop the sentence there. The major issue is the negative impact manufacturing stuff has on the planet. If all the fancy clothing they made was purchased, would it make a difference? The planet is still fucked, but now everyone is looking sharp!
