I think the bigger issue than the environment, not to undervalue its importance, is that Shein and Temu literally use slave labor.

Every time I see these comments of yours, I can't help but laugh. Using slaves to make clothes? Come take a look at China; you're trapped in the cocoon spun by the West Media.

You think you're living in an open and free society, yet in reality, you're immersed in lies. Yesterday, I saw a news report on YouTube that shocked me, and what was even more shocking was that the video had zero comments underneath it.

Isn't all damage to the environment a kind of slave labor forced upon future generations who will have to work off the debt we give them?

Is there any reason to believe they're worse than any other business with operations in china?

Wait until you find out about how the chocolate gets made.

But it is comparatively easy to get a "good" bar of chocolate, they are usually marked as "free trade" or something like that. With clothes, there usually is no such indicator.

There is no one label but there are good brands. Only very few in the big picture that care about sustainability other than pure green washing.

Fair trade.

[imp0cat]

Right, that's the one.

Not surprised to see Feastables on that list

It's only an issue because Shein is Chinese.

Nobody cares what Western companies do in Kenia or Bangladesh but the knives come out for China moving up the value chain.

There is an extremely thin, but important line between the exploitation of your labour force and using litteral forced labour provided by the government. Both things are despicable, yet they are not really the same.
