Awhi Mai Awhi Atu – Action Point 78

Stop supporting the ‘fast fashion’ industry, with its massive pollution, waste and unethical employment practices.

• Provide a repair service so that clothes last longer.
• Celebrate second hand clothing, with fashion parades, clothes swaps etc.
• Find and promote local and ethical clothing sources.
• Learn more about environmental issues in the clothing industry.

• With a bit of research you can find out if clothes are being made by people who are underpaid, businesses that don’t have good work ethics, e.g. Good On You: www.goodonyou.eco
