The lure of fast fashion,
It beckons and entices.
We buy without a thought,
Ignoring its dark vices.
Cheap clothes, cheap labour,
A deadly combination.
We fuel the machine,
With our consumer fascination.
Garments made to break,
Designed for single use.
Our greed and gluttony,
Has become a terrible abuse.
The planet cries in pain,
As landfills overflow.
Our hunger for new styles,
Is taking its toll.
We turn a blind eye,
To the people and the planet.
Our need for convenience,
Is nothing but a habit.
We’ve forgotten the true cost,
Of our fashion choices.
Forgetting that slow fashion,
Is a better voice.
We must change our ways,
To save the world and more.
Refusing fast fashion,
To heal the earth’s core.
The impact of fast fashion,
Is clear as day to see.
The change is in our hands,
And it starts with you and me.
So let us pledge today,
To shop more sustainably.
Buying fewer, better things,
To create a world more free.
Let’s support slow fashion,
And ethical brands.
Making conscious choices,
To heal our planet’s lands.
For the future is in our hands,
And the choice is ours to make.
Let’s protect our planet,
For our future’s sake.
Let’s be mindful of our choices,
And the impact they create.
For a world without fast fashion,
Is a future worth the wait.
So, remember when you shop,
To think of the bigger picture.
Saving the planet,
Is always the greater fixture.
Let us stand together,
And fight against fast fashion.
For the earth, the people,
And for a more sustainable passion.
Let’s not give up hope,
For a better world to see.
For a future free of fast fashion,
For the earth, the people,
And for a more sustainable passion.
Let’s not give up hope,
For a better world to see.
For a future free of fast fashion,
Is the future we’d like to be.
Together, we can make a change,
And build a world more kind.
Were fashion and sustainability,
Are always intertwined.
