Take action against fast fashion

Mitigating the impact of excessive consumption in the fashion industry which depletes the earth, harms a vulnerable labour force and creates around 2 million tonnes of waste each year.

Implement an Initiative

Engage your school in a Clothing Conscious initiative, embracing values of consciousness, circularity, and community. Educate student, teachers and parents to make the right choices on their next shopping trip.

Created by a student, for students
