    Abstract
    Abstract Background: Fast fashion mass produces clothing and accessories at a quicker rate using chemicals that create cheap quality fabrics that are harmful to the environment. As a result, this has led people to overspending and throwing out thousands of clothes per year. Objective: This study focuses on the impacts of fast fashion on our environment, and garment workers and how to change from fast fashion shopping to sustainable shopping. Design and Method: The design and method of my research is based on the current issues that are occurring due to fast fashion and the popularity. In my research, I have used peer-reviewed articles, news articles, and documentaries to describe the problems of fast fashion. The research questions are the following: How does fast fashion affect the environment? What are ways social media is used in the rise of fast fashion companies? What is sustainable shopping? What are methods of sustainable shopping? Results: This research allows the audience to know the harms of fast fashion and how controlling the profit of fast fashion companies. The research also tells the audience of the different ways you can reduce your shopping activities by shopping sustainably. Conclusions: Shoppers should be aware of where their clothes come from and what materials they are made with; by knowing this, they are able to make better decisions of what clothing they are putting on their skin. Keywords: Fast fashion, clothing, sustainable, social media, climate change, environment
