Major clothing companies that many of us wear everyday are destroying the Amazon Rainforest as we speak. While many of these companies make broken promises to do better when it comes to our environment, they continue to increase their contribution to the destruction of the rainforest.

This claim should not be considered undoubtedly true. Fast Company is a business magazine that leans left, so its reporting is inherently biased toward left-leaning issues such as climate change. Additionally, the sources used in the article are not well-established institutions. One of the hyper-links leads to a google slideshow while another leads to a website that doesn't even exist. Take this entire article with a grain of salt.
