The Production of Consumer Goods

To explore the sustainability challenges facing the production of consumer goods, we'll focus on one industry that touches us all: the fashion industry. We've started to watch The True Cost, a documentary by Andrew Morgan. As we unpack this film, our conversation will lead us to talk about consumerism, outsourcing production, externalizing cost, sweatshops, workers rights, social and environmental impact, GMOs, organic farming, Fair Trade practices, economic justice, etc.
