Black Friday and Cyber Monday promote mindless consumption, excessive packaging and

shipping waste, especially with the rise of online shopping. The sales produce massive waste not just

from the unwanted single-use plastic and cardboard packaging, but also from the return of unwanted

items. This mindset also ensures that the earth overshoot day keeps moving back.

This is especially true of the clothing industry, where much of the online returns are tossed into

the landfill because the logistics and cost of putting the item back on the shelf are much too complicated.

Britons throw away approximately 300,000 tonnes of clothes every year and many of them are only worn

a handful of times.

The negative impact of Black Friday is also significant from non-recyclable, mostly plastic toys,

to e-waste, to fast fashion that is only used for one season. In fact, in France, the government is

considering banning Black Friday due to the impact on the planet and the promotion of unsustainable

consumption habits.

C. France D. Britain

A. People carefully put the online returns on the shelf.

B. People resend the online returns to the logistics agent.

C. People have to pay more for the online returns.

D. People throw the online returns to the landfill.
