Our students had the incredible opportunity to participate in an eye-opening session on "Fast Fashion and Sustainable Consumption" with renowned speaker Dr. Gayathri Banavara from the USA, hosted by Hong Kong Baptist University. The discussion uncovered some shocking truths about the environmental and social impacts of the fast fashion industry—challenging all of us to rethink our daily consumption habits. 

This event resonates deeply with SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production, sparking important conversations about how we can contribute to sustainable practices in our everyday lives.

Some thought-provoking questions raised:

- Are our fashion choices contributing to environmental harm? 

- What can we do as consumers to shift the industry toward more ethical practices? 

- Can we be part of the solution to fast fashion's growing waste problem? 

Our students left the session with new perspectives and ideas... but we’re only scratching the surface! There's more to uncover, more to discuss—and we can't wait to share what comes next! Stay tuned as we explore how we can apply these global insights right here in our local communities.
