About this Event

Join the United Nations Association of Minnesota for an engaging discussion on the UN's Sustainable Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production in the fashion industry.
Fast fashion significantly damages the environment bycontributing 8-10% of global carbon emissions, consuming massive water resources, and producing 20% of global wastewater. It drives excessive waste, with 85% of textiles going to dumps annually. The industry heavily relies on fossil fuels for synthetic fibers (like polyester), releasing toxic chemicals and millions of tons of microplastics into oceans.
