This months DCK effect is about Fast Fashion

We talk about how we are F-ing up the planet and people's mental and physical health all to wear some threads. Why is fashion so quick? What's going on with the companies that swamp the market with new clothes every week? Why do we feel we need to buy new things to go to an event?

Is there a way to redeem ourselves or are we just F'd?

Join us on our quest to change our society by really thinking about the world around us.
