Fast fashion is so satisfactory to many because of how quickly it produces and is able provide products to consumers, which is one of the reasons why it continues to exist and is supported.

This means that the workers receive wages unsuitable for living.

Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 8 encourages countries to "take immediate and effective measures to eradicate forced labour, end modern slavery and human trafficking and secure the prohibition and elimination of the worst forms of child labour, including recruitment and use of child soldiers, and by 2025 end child labour in all its forms." (https://sdgs.un.org/goals/goal8)

This can be related to the topic of Causes and Effects of Fast Fashion because the laborers in sweatshops are often women and children forced to work in unsafe working conditions. The implementation of SDG 8 can change the lives of forced laborers in a positive way.]]> 2022-10-31 17:22:25 UTC https://padlet.com/3499791/6vkqd1xeh5khqh3x/wish/2363702188 3443772 https://padlet.com/3499791/6vkqd1xeh5khqh3x/wish/2363702857 2022-10-31 17:22:52 UTC https://padlet.com/3499791/6vkqd1xeh5khqh3x/wish/2363702857 3443772 https://padlet.com/3499791/6vkqd1xeh5khqh3x/wish/2363705713 2022-10-31 17:24:45 UTC https://padlet.com/3499791/6vkqd1xeh5khqh3x/wish/2363705713 3499791 https://padlet.com/3499791/6vkqd1xeh5khqh3x/wish/2363713312 SDG 12 fits perfectly with the topic of fast fashion; it is exactly what fast fashion needs to achieve. Responsible production for one is, as of now, very far from where fast fashion is right now, making it all the more important to achieve. When fast fashion will reach this goal is unknown, but it is obvious that this change will be for the better, for both the planet and the people. 
Responsible consumption, too, is just as important. It ensures that clothing and goods produced are used to their fullest and materials aren't wasted as quickly on unnecessary quantities of items. As these companies invest into more environmentally-safe ways of production, they will be rewarded with both a clean mind, free of any guilt, and reasonable profit from the change for the better.]]> 2022-10-31 17:29:36 UTC https://padlet.com/3499791/6vkqd1xeh5khqh3x/wish/2363713312 3499791 https://padlet.com/3499791/6vkqd1xeh5khqh3x/wish/2363714148 2022-10-31 17:30:12 UTC https://padlet.com/3499791/6vkqd1xeh5khqh3x/wish/2363714148 3499791 https://padlet.com/3499791/6vkqd1xeh5khqh3x/wish/2363734404 Scholastic article:
