Humans about Fast Fashion

Fast fashion has become a hot topic among many people, due to its negative impact on both people and the environment. Some common criticisms of fast fashion include:

Poor working conditions for garment factory workers.
Increased pollution and waste due to the frequent production and disposal of cheap clothes.
Negative impact on local cultures and traditional textile production methods.

Introduction

Ecological building has been a hotly debated topic for several years now and has often made the headlines. But what really is it? Does it help the environment? Is it efficient? We have also asked ourselves these questions. We chose ecological building as a topic for our collaboration because we have already completed our 3-year apprenticeship in a construction company.
