Fast Fashion: Unsustainable Style

This unit educates students about the impact of the fast fashion industry on the economy and the environment, aiming to transition from a linear to a circular economic model. It covers various skills like critical thinking, collaboration, and digital literacy. The curriculum focuses on economics, business, and sustainability, aligning with Australian standards for Year 8. The lesson incorporates real-world examples, such as the National Clothing Product Stewardship Scheme, and highlights initiatives by First Nation creative entrepreneurs.
