Our Social Issue
The impact of fast fashion on the environment
Why We Chose It
We chose the issue of fast fashion as it is a growing problem in todays society. Many of the main fast fashion companies such as Shien target young people in marketing strategies. We believe that by bringing awareness to this issue that young people can work to solve it. Fast fashion is a huge contributor to the climate crisis and global warming, a huge issue that will directly affect us in the future. If we work to solve the fast fashion issue we can also help ensure our future is bright.
Our Goal
Our big idea is to bring awareness to the growing issue of fast fashion to young people. We hope that by achieving this young people will work to solve this issue and chose more sustainable alternatives such as small and local businesses when shopping for clothes. The issue of fast fashion can only be solved by bringing awareness to the target market, us young people.
Our Innovative Action
We hosted a pop up swap shop so people could get rid of unwanted clothes sustainably. People could also get good quality clothes for cheap. We made a lesson plan for the fist years to teach the about the negative affects of fast fashion.
Our Impact
We have made a positive difference by raising money for the Irish Cancer Society. We have also raised awareness of the dangers and the harm caused to our environment by fast fashion. We also uncovered some of the poor working conditions that people in these factories are subject to.
