[flagged]<p>For a whole bunch of reasons.<p>For one, the exaggeration of the CO2 impact -- which reverts back to &quot;between 2 and 8 percent&quot; when we dial back to the stuff it links to, which in turn refer sources which are difficult to track down.<p>For another - this site is basically greenwashing: convincing people that it&#x27;s OK to keep buying all this useless crap as long as an algorithm tells them it&#x27;s &quot;sustainable&quot;. As powered by &quot;the secret sauce - AI&quot; no less.<p>There is no doubt that most fashion items are entirely wasteful have have significant CO2 impact. However there is absolutely no purpose served in pretending to &quot;inform&quot; people that they will be helping the environment significantly by buying slightly less impactful versions of useless crap they probably shouldn&#x27;t be buying in the first place.<p>All very nauseatingly stupid and deceptive -- as only the AI industry can come up with.
