Jockey Club Sustainable Campus Consumer Programme - Sustainable Fashion Webinars
To keep up with the rapidly changing nature of fashion and ever-evolving style trends, we tend to buy clothing that we don’t really need. Indeed every one second, one garbage truck full of clothes are being dumped. It is important for us consumers to understand the consequences of our own actions and learn about sustainable options to make more responsible choices. Register for the Jockey Club Sustainable Campus Consumer Programme – Sustainable Fashion Webinars to learn about second hand, slow & fair fashion, clothing swaps, local production, recycled materials and more! Let our choices transform the fashion industry towards a more circular and socially responsible system!
