Ashneet Kaur
As a Chancellor’s student fellow, Ashneet has been developing a project focused on educating students at Riverside City College and beyond about the environmental impacts of fast fashion. To support this initiative, she has created a toolkit that outlines the industry's detrimental effects on both humans and the environment. This resource provides actionable steps for students to adjust their shopping routines to help reduce water contamination, CO₂ emissions, and landfill pollution.
In addition to this project, Ashneet is collaborating with fellow students Alyna Esteem and Trinie Ngo on the Clean California Project at Riverside City College. Her contributions involve conducting a litter assessment and promoting clean-up efforts across the campus.
Projects
Fast Fashion Toolkit:
This toolkit is meant to act as a resource for individuals who are unaware of the extensive and damaging effects of fast fashion on both the people and the planet. It is designed to educate those who wish to learn more about the fast fashion industry to take a stand against the cheap, low-quality fibers produced by fast fashion corporations.
The toolkit goes in order of defining fast fashion, exactly how this model negatively impacts our environments, and concludes with actionable steps and alternatives that individuals can adopt to stop feeding into the corporate cycle of overconsumption.
