TY Fast Fashion Talk

Thanks to Maura Duffy for giving an informative and inspiring talk today to Transition Year students on the environmental impacts of fast fashion. Four Transition Year students organised the talk as part of their Young Environmentalist Awards Project. Maura gave tips on how to shop more sustainably and highlighted how the fashion industry has changed over the last decade. Maura also provided students with information on how to check if a brand is ethical or sustainable. She presented students with a list of YouTube links and social media accounts to follow to find out more about the environmental issue. Lastly, she provided names of vintage shops and alternatives to fast fashion. Many thanks to Maura for delivering such an informative talk.
