"Natural fibers are not a cheat code for quality. There are high-quality synthetics, and in fact, some items MUST use synthetic fibers for their properties that natural fibers simply do not have, and there are some very low-quality natural fibers out there. These low-quality natural fibers aren't better for the environment either; yes, they biodegrade, but their production is often devastating to the environment and to the people that live in the areas where those fibers are produced."
"Also, thrifting is not always the solution. In fact, if you're looking for something specific, it very often isn't. I also think people need to stop using 'thrifting" as an umbrella term for buying secondhand because there is a very big difference between charity shops, large thrift stores like Goodwill or Value Village, curated secondhand/vintage/consignment stores, and various online platforms."
