Fast Fashion Questionnaire - Research 4

-
I created an anonymous Google Docs questionnaire to find out peoples opinions on fast fashion. The questions I asked were:
  1. Do you care about whether your clothes are sustainable or not? 
  2. Do you shop at clothes shops well known for fast fashion? (i.e Primark)
  3. Do you shop at charity shops/ vintage stores?
  4. Do you feel guilty for shopping at fast fashion shops?
  5. Have you ever researched the effects of fast fashion?
  6. Would you like to start shopping more sustainably at some point?
  7. Do you look on tags at shops to see if clothing is sustainably produced? (H&M green tag)
I sent this questionnaire to Year12 and Year13 sixth form and received 20 responses within the first 5 minutes. I waited until I had 100 responses before collecting the results, which only took 1 day. I would predict that many of the responses I had were female as it is typically more of a topic of interest - so the results may be biased. 

The results:
  1. To an extent: 45.9%, yes: 28.6%, no: 25.5%
  2. Yes: 79.6%, no: 6.1%, rarely: 14.3%
  3. Sometimes: 25.5%, often: 14.3%, not at all: 20.4%, rarely: 28.8%, completely: 1%
  4. Yes: 19.4%, no: 48%, sometimes: 32.7%
  5. Yes: 27.6%, no: 72.4%
  6. Yes: 84.7%, 15.3%
  7. Yes: 15.3%, No: 52%, Sometimes: 32.7%
My findings from the research: From this research, I have gathered that most people in year12 and year13.

What are shops doing better? Asos Marketplace - Asos Marketplace: Indie sustainable brands/ vintage clothing stores can list items there 'buy & sell'. The idea is to shop small and support local. Incredible one off items and unique pieces which nobody else will have.  Nasty Gal - Nasty Gal sustainable plan: " We believe that we can change our impact on the world by developing more eco-friendly clothing lines and adopting better practices within our internal network to reduce our environmental footprint.

Mindmap - The fast fashion industry For my EPQ, I would like to delve deep into the ethical standards of the fast fashion industry and how each of us can do our bit to shop more sustainably.  Recently, I have taken a lot more notice than I ever have before about where the clothes, shoes and accessories actually come from. I am aware that fast fashion exists, but through my EPQ I would like to take a closer look into the impact of fast fashion on people's lives. Also, I'd like to research whether for us, as consumers, it is possible to shop sustainably and ethically for good quality clothing at an affordable price. To achieve my end result, I will read a variety of articles, do my own research and watch YouTube videos on this matter - hopefully at the end I will be able to produce a dissertation which will inspire other people to think about where their clothes are coming from and to consider shopping more ethically and sustainable in the future.
