Fast fashion has significant impacts on the planet and local populations that are exploited to continue churning out low-cost, short-lived items.
“As consumers we have so much power to change the world by just being careful in what we buy.”
Emma Watson
Fast Fashion is cheap, trendy fashion with a very short lifespan. Because it’s inexpensive, we can afford to buy the latest look every few weeks and discard the previous looks. Low-quality fabrics and construction also contribute to the rapid replacement of garments.
“There is no beauty in the finest cloth if it makes hunger and unhappiness.”
Mahatma Gandhi
Presented by the Institute for Environmental Sustainability (IES).
The IES' mandate is to support research and scholarship, learning and engagement in environmental sustainability. We consider the tensions in sustainability and the complex challenge of addressing environmental, social, and economic challenges simultaneously. We are interested in supporting Mount Royal faculty and students who have a passion for sustainability. Our outcomes are tied to the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). The topics of overconsumption and Fast Fashion touch on almost all of the 17 goals, but especially Goal 12 “Responsible Consumption and Production” (UN SDGs).
