Why I Care

About Me

It Started as a Summer Project

My journey in learning about fast fashion started as a summer research project. I have always been aware of the damage that our actions can have on the environment, but I didn't really know what I could do about it. I wanted to do something productive with my time and learn more about the environment this summer.

As a teenager, I feel that I need to learn about the environmental impact humans are causing. My generation is going to have to live on this planet, even after the people destroying it today are gone, so we need to change our actions for a better future.

Right now, it is easy to ignore issues like this because they seem so big and far away, but after a while, it will be impossible to ignore the damage we have caused, and we must act before the effects of our irresponsible actions are irreversible.

I didn't really know about the additional social impact of these companies. We often think only of ourselves and turn a blind eye to others who are affected because it is easy, and spares us guilt. But this is not fair to those who are being negatively impacted. We need to stand up for those whose voices are not heard. We are all people, and we all deserve to be safe, healthy and happy.
