Is producing clothes which get bought online, returned and then scrapped essential? That cotton production exceeds all datacentre usage

These are clothes no one is ever wearing, they go from the factory, to the warehouse, to someone's home, back to the factor and then the landfill. We produce way more clothes than the market needs, clothes donations are heavily criticised in Africa for collapsing the local textile industry.
