(ANS - Venice) - The fashion sector, and especially "fast fashion", has imposed times and ways of living and enjoying fashion that are dangerous for people and the planet. According to a United Nations report, the fashion industry has a large share of responsibility in global pollution and increasingly threatens the values ​​of sustainability, quality of materials and work ethic. However, more and more associations are fighting against the cheap labor imposed by this system. For this reason, in relation to the start of the new academic year, which will be animated by an ecological spirit in all fields, the Salesian University Institute of Venice (IUSVE) has inaugurated a special project: "the ethical closet".
