I believe that fast fashion and materialistic objects are displacing the important values when it comes to "stuff", the focus is now being set on impressing others and showing a sense of status/wealth without taking into account the negative effects produced by the companies that are selling these products. I think that the focus should be set on buying products that are built to last and are more ethical in order to reduce some of the negative effects of fast fashion. In the future, a perfect world would be one that has moved away from the fast fashion trend and where consumers value usability and sustainability over status. I want to take a step toward this ideal world by buying products that are long-lasting and by supporting companies that emphasize more sustainable/ethical methods of production.

Hi Gunkaar! I totally agree with you, nowadays society is so set in buying the "newest" version of things such as, new iphones, new shoes, lastest trend on clothes. But do we "really" need that? Is it just going to make us "happy"? How does buying that effect the earth? I think these are the questions that we need to ask ourselves before making a purchase.
