View the video “Is fast fashion destroying our environment?” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOA0D0i5-fA and complete the following prompts while you watch… · What is fast fashion? · What is the impact of fast fashion on the environment? On the consumer? · What’s a consumer to do? · Explain how the quote “out with the old and in with the new” applies to fast fashion. · Discuss answers to the above video and prompts. If time permits, also explore other impacts of fast fashion to the animals and workers. This article titled, What is Fast Fashion? https://goodonyou.eco/what-is-fast-fashion/ may be helpful. · Additionally, discuss some of the serious stats mentioned in the video, associated with fast fashion. These are just a few, there are more. · Have students complete the infographic worksheet by guessing the stats. Here’s the KEY reflecting the actual numbers. · Students then reflect on the stats by completing the exit prompts. What 3 stats surprised you the most, why? What 2 stats concerned you the most, why? Which stat do you believe is most fixable, why? · This leads us to “What’s a consumer to do?” First, you might also show students the commercial from Levi’s titled, “Buy Better, Wear Longer” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oCB0SwxJB8 and ask what their thoughts are about this concept. · Is it a good idea? Why or why not? · Would they shop this way? Why or why not? If not, what |
| · would prevent them from doing so.
· If cost doesn’t come up, you could ask students if they would pay more for clothing if it would last longer? · Second, the video mentioned that we can shop second hand. · What are your thoughts on this? For or against? Why? · How many of you already shop second hand? What are your reasons for doing so? · Where are places we can purchase/obtain second hand clothes? (thrift stores, yard sales, online thrift websites, swaps with friends/family, etc.) |
