Re-use, repair, and recycle to fight fashion waste and worker exploitation
Mission Statement
Mission Statement
This project addresses the environmental and social damage caused by the "fast fashion" industry. Fast fashion damages the environment with both industrial and clothing waste, and exploits the workers, usually in developing countries, who make the garments. While some consumers may like to have cheap, fashionable clothing, it's not good for the planet or many of the people who live on it.
The goal of this project is to educate the public about the issues around fast fashion and how they can take action themselves to reduce clothing waste and help the environment and global human rights.
