⁃ discuss economical pros and cons
⁃ discuss Margaret Thatcher & moving labours overseas where workers rights are non existent for cheaper costs
⁃ Discuss the development of fast fashion since the 60s (or whenever it began) and what’s happened because of it
⁃ discuss the implications for the average person with a low income (or family) unable to afford morally conscious clothing
⁃ discuss possible government schemes that could be implemented to eradicate fast fashion
⁃ discuss cultural resets, also educational changes from home economics and sewing to science. Not teaching people to reuse what they have. Culturally having new things and keeping up with new trends
