Our main aim is to be part of the growing trend towards a sustainable design philosophy; with an end goal of creating a system that can be sustained indefinitely, in terms of human impact on the environment and social responsibility. Theme: Sustainable Fashion Mission statement: Promote sustainable fashion on a whole; as well as, local businesses and designers in our community to enhance the structure of a sustainable lifestyle. Executive summary Previously underestimated in terms of its impact on the environment, the record breaking $2.5 trillion-dollar fashion industry is now increasingly coming under scrutiny. Not only is it the second highest user of water worldwide, causing 20 per cent of global water waste and 10 per cent of global carbon emissions; it is also closely linked to labor violations, gender discrimination and poverty issues. While already highly significant today, these issues are only going to increase in severity within the coming decades. Victoria as an Eco City This project is aimed at marketing Victoria an a good example of its sustainable lifestyle for the locals and the thousands of tourists that visits us every year. They can learn from us to take it to the rest of the world.
