Waste Not, Want Not
Fast Fashion
Fast Fashion
Understand how people’s management of resources impacts on environmental and social sustainability
In small groups or pairs, students have 3 minutes to write down or sketch everything they know about:
Waste and pollution
Fast fashion
(You can even split the paper into two halves: one side = waste, one side = fast fashion.)
Prompt if they get stuck:
What is Greenwashing (Nukakāriki)?
What happens to plastic and rubbish?
What happens to old clothes?
How do these things hurt the Earth?
Groups quickly share one fact or idea with the class.
Teacher jots keywords on the board (e.g., landfill, oceans, clothing factories, pollution, cheap clothes, reuse).
For this section you will be working thought a booklet.
Begin with the definition of fast fashion then look at the impact on people and reading though some true stories.
Fast fashion describes low-priced but stylish clothing that moves quickly from design to retail stores to meet trends, with new collections being introduced continuously.
