Description: Barnard Pre-College Program students collaborate on an educational zine about the detrimental effects fast fashion has on the environment and its severely underpaid and unprotected workforce based in the Global South. The authors share statistical research on the environmental consequences to our polluted water systems and increased carbon emissions into our atmosphere, as well as the subhuman working conditions and wages for Bangladesh garment workers; further readings and documentaries are recommended alongside thrifting tips and tricks, upcycling ideas, big box stores to avoid and sustainable brands to replace them. -- Claudia
