In this thought-provoking episode of Speak Slowly: English for Everyone, host Aryan Alavi explores the hidden costs of fast fashion and its impact on people and the environment. As fast fashion continues to make clothing cheaper and more accessible, it also raises important questions: What happens to the clothes we throw away? How does fashion affect the environment? And are the people making our clothes being treated fairly?
Aryan breaks down these complex issues into clear and accessible segments for English learners. You’ll learn why fast fashion has become so popular, discover how clothing production contributes to water use, pollution, waste, and carbon emissions, and examine the working conditions of people in the global fashion industry. Along the way, you'll also improve your English vocabulary, with key words like sustainability, textile waste, supply chain, transparency, and workers’ rights explained in simple terms.
Tune in to strengthen your language skills and your understanding of the environmental and human impacts behind the clothes we wear every day.
