I’d argue addressing things like fast fashion is focusing on the existential threat that we are all facing. It’s just one of the many things in society that needs to be curtailed if we want to bring our usage of planetary resources back into safe boundaries.

Legislative systems are massive and employ a small army of people, and such proposals take years to develop. Their current focus will become apparent in a few years.

Developing legislation like this one on fast-fashion has little to do with management of current events. It’s a very slow and long process done in the background and doesn’t take away focus from energy and economical issues.
