Problem：The dizzying speed at which clothes are made, worn and thrown away means that clothes become easier to discard, more like merchandise than souvenirs, and shoppers are largely used to the constant appearance of new items,cloth become a disposable product.





Economic problems and solutions
（ray）excessive consumption-The solution can be "Clothing exchange" promotes the reuse and recycling of clothing by reusing clothes already made and exchanging them from one consumer to another

Katherine: In fast fashion, the new cycle is short, the production cycle is short, and more resources are wasted, causing great economic losses. 
Solution:Setting up a recycling system for used clothes and encouraging customers to recycle their old clothes by means of vouchers or discount codes will further promote consumption



Environmental problems and solutions

Problems
Fast fashion is made by people who work in terrible conditions and get get paid very little, which sometimes is not enough to cover basic needs.

It will never disappear, but other brands will replace it. I think it is impossible for everyone to bear the high cost of luxury, so it cannot disappear.



Economic problems and solutions
Problem
Spending more on clothing in the long run because fast fashion deteriorates quickly and needs replacing

It will continuously work to improve all stages of the product’s life cycle, from design, raw material production, manufacturing, transport, storage, marketing and final sale, to use, reuse, repair, remake and recycling of the product and its components, this will increase the cost.

Environmental problems and solutions
Problems
Clothes filling landfills

Solutions
Use of more biodegradable materials
Less use of polyester and other synthetic materials
Companies that are the highest sellers of fast fashion should implement sustainable clothing and clothing recycling initiatives. ]]> 2020-10-13 06:33:25 UTC https://padlet.com/usictech/e3y47822ig2f9oht/wish/823869767 Group 3 usictech https://padlet.com/usictech/e3y47822ig2f9oht/wish/823870047 Social problems and solutions
Vera :
    It may cause the price up of fast fashion brands  and than lose a group of low- level customers, but for luxury brands, it could promote the brand influence.
    The best way to solve that is when the process of sustainable production is mature ,then put into production to reduce the cost.

Sam: fast fashion creates job opportunities for low-income countries. However, regulations on protecting not using child labor should be excited

Rock： From a social point of view, I think it would be fail. Sustainable fashion did not have enough publicity like use environmentally friendly tableware. People do not have sense of using sustainable fashion.

Economic problems and solutions
(YT)Problem: It depends, for the cheap brand, it might cost a lot. For the fashion houses, it have the advantages that it have the capital to do more and benefit more.
solution: Find more new environmental protection materials which are cheaper to take place the the old materials. Find the balance between different level fashion groups.

Vera:
    The fashion houses like Gucci, Prada will have adequate money to develop the new technologies and make the sustainable production affordable, but it could be difficult to some small brands or some low-cost brand like H&M, finally the inside economic crisis might affect the whole company.
    Solution to this problem is to set a long front and make the revolution slowly, ensure that every company has their own pace to adopt the changes of sustainable development .

Rock： People who don’t have much budget to spend would like to chose the cheaper clothes in fast fashion. Also, from the clothing company's point of view, sustainable fashion may make make clothes more expensive.

Solution to solve this problem is developing technologies that make sustainable fashion cost less, and publicity the advantages of sustainable fashion.


Environmental problems and solutions

Vera:
    The normal production process causes a lot of waste of water, trees and other natural resources, however this could cause long-term adverse effect to the environment, sustainable fashion  can reduce this damage to some extent.

Sam: positive. Since making garments require many different natural resources, such as water, cotton, fossil, etc. sustainable  could somehow reduce the overuse of natural resources.

Rock：Environmentally speaking, it’s positive. Sustainable fashion is obviously environmentally friendly. Because it can reduce the amount of clothes consumed by people, reduce the consumption of raw materials used to make clothes and reduce the pollution caused by discarded clothes

(Frannie)Positive.By designing their collection beliefs,fashions can lead the system of social values.
Rhea: positive. Sustainable fashion make a better environment in society. Most of us won't just focus on whether the clothes we choose is fashion or valuable, but whether it is suitable and durable.


Economic problems and solutions
Rhea problem: It will reduce many fast fashion industry in fashion field. 
solution: using environmental protection materials 

(Frannie)Fail.The costs of each cloth,materials,and how it be made will influence the final prices.Yet some of the clothes brands and fashion industries costs a lot and started to become luxury goods and the fast fashion accelerates this phenomenon to encourge people spend money in their products.

Mia:The fashion products develop very fast, this may put economic presure on the people with low income and students.

The solution can be establish special distribition channels or products to fullfill the needs of these people.

Environmental problems and solutions
Winona:Fast fashion pushes people to keep up with the latest fashions,which could dead to a throw-away culture.it has its environmental cost as clothing can take decades to degrade and the hues and fabrics of clothes can contaminate soil.
To achieve environmental gains, it is important to substantially increase garment service life and to consider the logistics.
