Fashion & Sustainability Economic agenda

  • Valeria Akl

Educate the public to consume less.

Introducing a waiver as a change in the system, it will be implemented by the government and it would be filled out electronically on tablet every time a customer decides to purchase a clothing item. ​A copy of the form will be sent out to the customer’s email if he or she wishes to share their information.
It would inform customers about the negative impact this item has had on the environment and the people who worked on it as well as how it will continue to impact the environment and also have a negative impact on the customer himself.  ​
This form is not just questioning the consumer behavior toward consumptions, but also questioning the ethical sourcing of buyers to question back their supply chain in terms ethical practices in factories and environmental-friendly sourcing. ​
Sample of the waiver form is below.
