Campus Farmers Market; see online as dates vary. fashion Everyone loves a bargain, but a shockingly low price tag inevitably means compromises have been made elsewhere along the production line. Fast fashion is an ethical and environmental minefield.

In an ideal world it wouldn’t be difficult to know where a company makes its clothes, with what materials, who makes them and under what conditions. But evidently, the fashion industry is not fully transparent. Consumer responsibility is therefore paramount, but doesn’t require a lifestyle overhaul.
