It has been far too long since my last post. I hope there are still some readers out there who are interested in fair trade in the textile and fashion industries. I just watched “The True Cost”, a powerful documentary on the staggering cost fast fashion is having on workers in the garment district in developing countries, primarily young women. A secondary problem with our rabid consumption of fast fashion is the impact on our landfills. This movie also shows the parallels between greed versus the well-being of our environment.
This movie is a must-see for everyone!!! Please watch this trailer and then considering paying $10 to watch the entire movie.
Fairwear until next time……
