Everything starts with one question:

What are the problems in the world?

INTRODUCING Sustainable development Goals

Sustainable Development Goals, are a set of 17 global goals adopted by the United Nations in 2015 to achieve a more sustainable future by 2030. They are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity.

TODAY WE WILL FOCUS ON THE SDG 12

CONSUMPTION: WHAT WE USE PRODUCTION: WHAT WE MAKE What does it mean? Responsible Consumption and Production means using the Earth’s resources carefully, so that people, nature, and future generations can live well. The UN says we should:

• Use less energy and water
• Reduce waste and recycle more
• Make products that last and don’t harm the planet
• Share resources fairly so everyone can live well

PRODUCCIÓN Y CONSUMO RESPONSABLES

"Garantizar modalidades de consumo y producción sostenibles para reducir el impacto ambiental"

Where do the things we use every day come from and where do they go?

FAST FASHION AND ITS PROBLEMS!

Many clothes we buy are made far away, in factories in countries of the Global South (like China, Bangladesh, or India). After we stop using them, they often end up as waste, burned or sent to other countries’ landfills. This creates problems for people and the planet.

fast fashion = environmental damage

Factories use tons of water to make clothes. One T-shirt can use up to 2,700 liters of water!

• Dyes and chemicals used to color fabrics can pollute rivers and soil.
• Many clothes are made of polyester, a plastic that creates microplastics in the ocean.
• When clothes are thrown away, they don’t break down, creating mountains of textile waste.

➡️ Science shows: Fast fashion changes ecosystems and adds to climate change.

the SOCIAL side

Fast Fashion also affects people. Many workers earn very low wages and work in unsafe factories. Some workers are young people or women who have few rights. Companies make clothes cheaply and quickly, but workers don’t share the profit. This system creates inequality: some get rich, while others live in poverty.

GLOBAL NORTH AND GLOBAL SOUTH

The Global North includes richer countries (like Europe, the U.S., Japan). They buy and use a lot of products. The Global South includes poorer countries (like many in Latin America, Africa, and Asia). They often make or grow the products we use. The North consumes too much, and the South carries the costs: 🌱 pollution, 💰 low pay, and ⚖️ unfair trade.

Each group has to choose one fact

Fast Fashion: Real Facts

1. The fashion industry causes about 20% of global wastewater pollution.
2. One cotton T-shirt uses around 2,700 liters of water, enough for one person to drink for 2.5 years.
3. About 85% of all textiles end up in landfills or are burned.
4. Around 60% of clothes are made from polyester, a plastic that releases microplastics when washed.
5. The fashion industry creates 10% of global CO₂ emissions,more than all international flights and shipping combined.

SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production

1. If the world’s population reaches 9.6 billion by 2050, we would need the resources of three planets to maintain our current lifestyle (UN, 2023).
2. Responsible consumption means buying less, using longer, and recycling more.
3. Reducing textile waste helps achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.

Global North and South: Inequality in Fashion

1. Most cheap clothes are made in the Global South (Bangladesh, China, India, Vietnam).
2. In Bangladesh, an average garment worker earns less than $3 per day.
3. About 80% of garment workers are women, often working in unsafe conditions.
4. Many used clothes from Europe and the U.S. end up in landfills in Africa or Latin America, polluting land and water.
