The final part of our EJA case study focuses on how Fast Fashion exploits consumer mentality and the sheer environmental impacts of such practices.

The second part of our EJA case study focuses on how Fast Fashion utilizes the alienation of the customer-producer dynamic in order to create a rapid and unsustainable production timeline. Due to this rapid and trend-oriented production, clothing items are often void of soul and quality on part of the manufacturing process.
This fashion-forward week will culminate into the Thrifty Thursday event in collaboration with !! 🌱
Make sure to stop by Library Walk tomorrow from 12pm-3pm to check out our incredible vendors and receive sustainable EJA merch! See y’all there! 🌻

Check out our new case study written by our EJA staff members! ✨ Here we provide insight into the detriments of the Fast Fashion industry and look to illustrate the marketing, consumer and corporate mentalities, and remedies that assist in reducing the effects of this unsustainable consumption.
This fashion-forward week will also be accompanied in tandem with our and Thrifty Thursday event, happening on Library Walk this Thursday from 12pm-3pm. We encourage everyone to participate and spread the word about our case study, events, and we hope to see you there! 🌻

Happy Earth Day from all of us at EJA! 🌻💛
We take this time to reflect on everything our planet provides for us. However, we must also reflect on the fact that this good is not able to be attained by everyone on Earth due to inequitable systems within our infrastructures and everyday life. We ask you to join us in this reflection as we look to continue to spread awareness of the intersection between social and environmental justice in all forms.
