A look at fast fashion and its impact on the environment and social justice, perfect for middle grade classrooms

Did you ever think about where your jeans come from? How about the people who made your T-shirt, or what happens to the clothes you grow out of when you're done wearing them? The fabrics clothes are made of, the way they are designed and sewn and shipped around the world, and the way we consume them and get rid of them-every step in this process has a big impact on our environment, on the people who work in clothing factories, and on our cultures. This nonfiction book shows us how the clothes we wear-and throw away-every day are made, and what that means for our planet and for people around the world.

Zusammenfassung
The definitive guide to fashion's slow revolution: Just as The Omnivore's Dilemma taught adults and kids about the food industry's impact on our world and the push toward slow food, Fashionopolis teaches readers about the fashion industry and the advent of slow fashion.

Action-oriented environmental nonfiction: A fresh angle for readers thinking about the ways their lifestyle impacts the environment, with a focus on environmental justice.

Social justice: Explores the impact of fast fashion on the people who make it, with a kid-level look at working conditions and a focus on what the reader can do to help.

Perfect for the classroom: For science and social studies classrooms learning about the environment, art history through fashion, and social justice on a global scale.

A respected journalist with a fresh audience: Dana Thomas is well known for her reporting on the fashion industry for adults, but this middle grade edition of her 2019 book, Fashionopolis, is an opportunity to relaunch this story for its natural audience: kids who care about the world they're inheriting.
