Due to the prevalent coronavirus situation, we are moving on to distance learning for the rest of the course. It is a pity that our face-to-face lessons have gone, but this is the safest solution for all - to prevent everyone from spreading the virus as best as we can! Hope you all stay healthy!

Please read the following article and make notes in case we can discuss later (maybe during the last lesson) - as the situation may have changed. Then we can discuss various topics that you have already read.
The Topic for the 18th is "Clothing and sustainability". Please also find a video to watch and a quiz below related to water - the answers will appear next week.

Here are some questions to think about:
1. What other textiles can you use to make: clothes, shoes or bags?
2. Are there other ways to reduce the carbon footprint of your wardrobe?
3. What solutions are there for the landfill issue?
4. What kind of attitudes should be changing in the fashion industry?
