Recycling Secondhand Clothes |
For my personal project, I crocheted a beanbag using secondhand clothes, in hopes of raising awareness to the fast fashion industry. My goal is to inspire people to mitigate their fast fashion consumption for a more environmentally friendly approach. My global context was ‘Sustainability and Globalisation’. The fast fashion industry is the mass production of clothes and selling them at a very cheap price to consumers. Despite its practicality, it is a major pollutant to our planet. It encourages the trend of growing consumerism and propagates the idea of valuing our short-term desires over what is good in the long-term. Not only has it harmed our planet environmentally but also widened the gap between the poor and the rich because of the insufficient wages the workers receive. Since I am very passionate about this topic, I always look for ways to improve my carbon footprint. Through this presentation, I hope to inspire and
encourage you to change your fashion habits.

Achievements
What I enjoyed most about this project was the crocheting aspect. It was really
relaxing and helped take my mind off things at the end of a stressful day. I am most proud of my end product. Although I am not finished, I am very pleased with how it has turned out so far. Because I enjoyed the crocheting aspect so much, I will continue to make my bean bag throughout the year. |
