A fast fad, a short-term fad identified as fast fashion, a production system that dazzles with its practicality and economy. Clothes purchased to last a season and then end up in a landfill or in the South of the world. With low quality production, at negligible prices, the manufacturing industry fast fashion generates enormous amounts of waste and pollution.

We know, in fact, that everything that we are and that surrounds us is connected. It is necessary to raise awareness of the sustainability of one’s daily choices in social, economic and political practice, relaunching attention to new lifestyles by adapting them to the times, contexts and various age groups”, as stated in the Final Document of the XVIII Diocesan Assembly – Section 2.
