Is our obsession with shopping for new clothes ruining the environment?

Partially, yes. Clothes should be used more before they are thrown away. All clothes do have a tendency to degrade through time and therefore, having many clotches, means more degrading. If you purchase and use them, then it is all fine. But if you purchase a piece of clothing and use it once or twice per year and definately this type os buying obsession is not in line with the environment and has to be eliminated.

Also, there can be other solutions provided. For ex., recycable clothing, that can be given back for a small sum or in exchange for other clothing.
