Vision, Values and Plans for Future Change: Buying Better

My Vision for the future is to create a world where sustainability and environmental impact are well understood and recognized globally. This includes raising awareness about the detrimental effects various social “norms” the world around us has, such as fast fashion. The goal would be for everyone to value durable, long lasting and sustainable consumer practices. This includes STOPPING fast fashion and promoting alternate brands who are more sustainable. I believe that everyone has a responsibility to help the world around us, and one of the ways to do this is to reduce our excess consumerism. Although it may be hard for some individuals to justify spending more on an article of clothing , it is important that it is clear to ALL consumers the net positive impact shopping sustainably has for themselves and the environment around them. Ideally, this education should begin to start in the early stages of childhood education. This way, we can raise the upcoming generation to have a forward-thinking approach to consumerism and a broader understand of how supply chains work and the impact fashion can have on our environment. For those who cannot receive this sort of education in the school setting, it is important to continue to share information and educate on various media platforms such as CoSphere, Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter. #UnleashValues #stopfastfashion #sustaibility #educate #understand #spreadawareness
