About this event
SuSTYLEability is a collection of youth workshops on sustainable fashion. It is an interactive face-to-face event conducted in English. The event includes workshops about sustainability issues in the fashion industry and how consumer behaviour contributes to them. And the exciting part? You will have the hands-on opportunity to organise a small-scale fashion show using second-hand clothes to showcase your takeaways from the event.
Did You Know?
- To produce a simple outfit, a T-shirt, jeans, and shoes, over 15,000 liters of water is used. This is equivalent to taking 317 showers.
- The fashion industry accounts for up to 10% of global carbon dioxide output.
- Less than 11% of brands have implemented recycling strategies for their items.
Reflect on our behaviour towards the Earth
- Textile production contributes more to climate change than international aviation and shipping combined. Do you really need that many clothes?
- 3 out of 5 fast fashion items end up in a landfill. Is it necessary to follow the trends?
- Over $125 billion of fashion garments created via modern slavery are imported annually to countries including China. How do we fix this situation?
