But in reality everyone that doesn't know the problem and even people who do love fast fashion.

A lot of the clothes are being dumped in a lot of places.]]> 2018-05-29 09:37:29 UTC https://padlet.com/thay/6cylrnunazjz/wish/264193614 https://padlet.com/thay/6cylrnunazjz/wish/264193615 The cost of fast fashion is that people lose their lives because of their little wages and are in need of family help. But if they get help the family name might be stuck to the factory. However this is the customers fault just as much as the business owners and factory owners since we want products fast and cheep so people are almost forced to work with low income because of our wants. If someone tries to raise their pay, the factory owners will just replace them with people who will work at the same pace for lower amounts of money.]]> 2018-05-29 09:37:29 UTC https://padlet.com/thay/6cylrnunazjz/wish/264193615 https://padlet.com/thay/6cylrnunazjz/wish/264193622 We buy cheap clothes without thinking about the cost of them. Workers have to work and live in harsh conditions with low wages to produce the cheap clothes we buy. People don't pay attention in these costs which makes the situation to stay the same. ]]> 2018-05-29 09:37:31 UTC https://padlet.com/thay/6cylrnunazjz/wish/264193622 https://padlet.com/thay/6cylrnunazjz/wish/264193627 The cost of fashion is underestimated by consumers, and the owners and people on the head of the working chain think only about how they can make the most money and not give more to those who need and deserve it. Workers in third world countries endure unjust labor conditions and low salaries that restrict them from the ability of living humanely and safely. Values without a price tag, such as the health and happiness of the workers or the effect on the environment are often discarded and not taken into consideration, and it is then when they make the most damage.]]> 2018-05-29 09:37:32 UTC https://padlet.com/thay/6cylrnunazjz/wish/264193627 https://padlet.com/thay/6cylrnunazjz/wish/264193633 I think that the cost of fashion now a days is the lives of many people. Sometimes it is there physical life as many people have died because of fast fashion. But also mental life as not allowing people to go to school and improve their life. These are examples of things monetary and things without monetary value. Other examples of these are the environment, dignity, family and fabric, chemicals, GPD. This is not stopping but rather getting worse as we become materialists, and wanting more things. To reduce this we must start realising what us happening and we must start changing something in any way possible.]]> 2018-05-29 09:37:33 UTC https://padlet.com/thay/6cylrnunazjz/wish/264193633 https://padlet.com/thay/6cylrnunazjz/wish/264193649 I think that the cost of fashion is low and that's why many people from less develop country are paying for that by working in a dangerous conditions for a low pay. But often it's too late and people would lose their job if we suddenly stop buying fast fashion so there is no a good resolution for that. Unfortunately most of people ignore that problem and just going for the lowest price possible. ]]> 2018-05-29 09:37:36 UTC https://padlet.com/thay/6cylrnunazjz/wish/264193649 https://padlet.com/thay/6cylrnunazjz/wish/264193650 The cost of fashion that we demand causes the workers to create cloths for a cheeper amount. This creates a problem for the factory because the working conditions are not properly managed which leads to many workers working in a dangerous environment. ]]> 2018-05-29 09:37:37 UTC https://padlet.com/thay/6cylrnunazjz/wish/264193650 https://padlet.com/thay/6cylrnunazjz/wish/264193666 After learning about fast fashion and the cost of fashion, my thoughts on it has changed completely. I have been conscious on what I am buying and how much it costs. The fact that the price completely changes from when the clothes are made and to when they are selling is fascinating. There has been so much work and effort put into the clothes and it's basically forced labour towards the garment and factory workers. People are dying from this and have put in a lot of work which maybe has been brought by somebody by a cheaper price or thrown in the garbage can without notice. The thought that comes to my mind is, What are we doing? Why isn't this bigger then stated? ]]> 2018-05-29 09:37:40 UTC https://padlet.com/thay/6cylrnunazjz/wish/264193666 https://padlet.com/thay/6cylrnunazjz/wish/264193670 To satisfy our need for something new every day people are suffering, this is a very hard to adress this problem but doing that will cost a lot of jobs. It isn't as easy as we think. I think fixing this problem should be one of our main concerns. These conditions are not humane]]> 2018-05-29 09:37:41 UTC https://padlet.com/thay/6cylrnunazjz/wish/264193670 https://padlet.com/thay/6cylrnunazjz/wish/264193674 I think that the current cost of fashion is something that the vast majority of people chose to ignore. It is easier to enjoy the cheap prices and live in ignorance of the blood price. We as humans have needs, and when our needs are satisfied, humans tend to hoard. When people shift towards greed, with the mentality "more is better", it is very easily exploited by capitalistic companies. The fact that we think that our needs are fulfilled is also untrue. As said in the video, the things that we need are going up in price, and the things that we want are getting more and more accessible. Society is convincing us that the things we do not need are things that we must have, and as such make us poorer and poorer, even as our number of belongings gets bigger and bigger. ]]> 2018-05-29 09:37:42 UTC https://padlet.com/thay/6cylrnunazjz/wish/264193674 https://padlet.com/thay/6cylrnunazjz/wish/264193710 My understanding of the cost of fashion is that people in less developed countries are creating these articles of clothing for a very small amount of money, but the companies that sell these clothes sell them for much more.]]> 2018-05-29 09:37:51 UTC https://padlet.com/thay/6cylrnunazjz/wish/264193710 https://padlet.com/thay/6cylrnunazjz/wish/264193745 Many people do not understand the cost of fast fashion and the effect that it has on the workers. One of the reasons is because it is never mentioned on the new and people do not understand. Also people feel satisfied when they buy new clothes and the cheaper the clothes are the more they can afford to buy making them feel wealthier.]]> 2018-05-29 09:37:59 UTC https://padlet.com/thay/6cylrnunazjz/wish/264193745 https://padlet.com/thay/6cylrnunazjz/wish/264193764 The consumption of our world is becoming greater from yer to year and the working conditions din't really improved at all except that at present different countries are "developing" putting their entire industry on cheep labour. Most of the time common people show their ignorance or lack of knowledge toward the situation living far away from it, in the old developed world (continents such as Europe or North America,) blinded by the propaganda with which we meet almost every day in any type of medias we see commercials of any kind. This is a large shift of our present society toward the new idea "the more you have the richer you are"  ]]> 2018-05-29 09:38:05 UTC https://padlet.com/thay/6cylrnunazjz/wish/264193764 https://padlet.com/thay/6cylrnunazjz/wish/264193772 I currently know that fashion has two costs: one with monetary value and another without. The part of fashion with monetary value is usually the part that normal consumers see- the cost of materials, the worker's pay, GDP... The part of fashion that doesn't have monetary value is something that many consumers choose not to see. This includes bad working environments, which can lead to many deaths and health hazards, natural resources and materials are depleted and harmed, families are torn apart... 
Furthermore, the consumers and major corporations who are choosing to ignore this major issue are increasing the negative costs of fast fashion by doing nothing. Every day, the worker's pay gets lower and lower, factories have to cut costs to meet the consumer's expectations and by doing nothing, these occurrences will simply continue and get more serious. ]]> 2018-05-29 09:38:07 UTC https://padlet.com/thay/6cylrnunazjz/wish/264193772 https://padlet.com/thay/6cylrnunazjz/wish/264193780 I think that the cost of fashion is how companies exploit their workers which leads to poverty and horrible lives of the people living working for these companies. This is all for the more fortuned people living in countries such as the USA so that they can get new products more often at a cheaper cost. The factories are under constant pressure and are forced to not pay their workers the amount they need and, for example, keep the construction of buildings save. The problem is also that the companies selling the clothes can't stop producing cheap clothes because then they will have less costumers. The "richer" society believes that it is better to buy cheap products although some of them know how bad it is for the countries making these products and how it ruins their economy.  If this society can agree on making the product more expensive then it might change a lot for other people's live and might help resolve the problem. If they do not do this a lot of damage can be done to environment, countries, and people. ]]> 2018-05-29 09:38:09 UTC https://padlet.com/thay/6cylrnunazjz/wish/264193780 https://padlet.com/thay/6cylrnunazjz/wish/264193927 I think that the cost of fast fashion is very big but nothing is really going to change because people don't want the costs to go up, they don't want to stop buying cloths they don't need. People will not make a change unless they actually experience the life of the workers in the factories, and because so little people relate to the workers we will not be able to make a change.]]> 2018-05-29 09:38:50 UTC https://padlet.com/thay/6cylrnunazjz/wish/264193927 https://padlet.com/thay/6cylrnunazjz/wish/264194002 I believe that the cost of fashion charges workers for their essentials, such as rent or food, but also their time for family and leisure. It impacts both workers' mental and physical health not to mention their homes and environments altered by the byproducts of our increasingly materialistic views on fashion. Because of the ever growing necessity for materialistic goods, our society has been altering fashion more and more, and because of companies' firm grip on what we wear and how we think, we all have to pay the price.]]> 2018-05-29 09:39:12 UTC https://padlet.com/thay/6cylrnunazjz/wish/264194002 https://padlet.com/thay/6cylrnunazjz/wish/264194307 I think that the cost of fashion is consuming the environment and the low payment and low working conditions for employees which may leads to catastrophic events.
They can't meet their families for long times during working.]]> 2018-05-29 09:39:36 UTC https://padlet.com/thay/6cylrnunazjz/wish/264194307 https://padlet.com/thay/6cylrnunazjz/wish/264194350 For our clothes and things that we want, people suffer and go through labor for us to be happy. Employers exploit their workers for clothes for a very low price and hours of work everyday. Due to low wages, poverty is made and the workers don't get a lot of money. Also, the factories don't have the best working conditions, which causes a health risk for the workers.]]> 2018-05-29 09:39:46 UTC https://padlet.com/thay/6cylrnunazjz/wish/264194350 https://padlet.com/thay/6cylrnunazjz/wish/264194688 People are dying
and the environment is suffering (also dying)
overall a lot of death

They work many hours a week and still don't get payed well. They work in harsh conditions with little hope for a better future. Their blood and sweat is put into the expensive clothes that we buy everyday, but they don't get the money we pay brands that use them. They get little money that has been reduced to please the companies.
