Random thoughts and observations: - Product; 'modular' clothing. where the parts / panels can be relatively easily replaced by anyone. And thus also combined in diffent ways.

- product / service: patchwerk clothes, combine the good parts.

- celebrate mending of clothing, celebrate blemishes as 'character'.

- redyeing (with natural dye's)

- Education: there was a british tv program where they put a mix of young people in the shoes of people in 3rd world countries; having to live and work for just a short time in sweatshops and things like that. It was very powerful. Show that stuff in school, or better yet make it a schooltrip!

- Unreasonable prices are a big part of this (negative externalities), but we don't want to price out people with less income.

- Observation / problem: fastfashion floods thriftstores, meaning it's more difficult to find quality items, and it just becomes part of the fastfashion cycle.
