Gen Z supports sustainability – and fuels ultra-fast fashion. How does that work?
Generation Z has been called “the sustainability generation”.Born between 1997 and 2013, 58% of this consumer cohort seek to buy products that are sourced sustainably. Australian Gen Zs say they are willing to pay more for brands that have a positive impact on society.
Yet, at the same time, we have witnessed the meteoric rise of ultra-fast fashion from online, direct-to-consumer retailers such as Shein, Temu and Boohoo. Shein alone generated US$32.5 billion (A$48.3 billion) in revenue in 2024 – a 43% increase from 2022.
There are complexities surrounding Gen Z’s shopping habits and how these often fail to align with their values.
On one hand, they covet a brand-new clothing item that is markedly more affordable when purchased from an ultra-fast fashion brand. On the other hand, they are aware of the environmental harms.
What explains this cognitive dissonance?

President Carter is 100. His presidency is nearly five decades in the past.
Yet the CIA still keeps his Camp David records secret, even though they could help policymakers as escalation continues between Israel and its neighbors.

🧵 Israel’s assaults on Al Jazeera provide a real-time illustration of the dangers of the U.S.'s TikTok ban legislation — and the power it gifts the government to muzzle its critics by invoking vague security threats.
Censorship in the name of national security, if it’s ever permitted at all, requires a concrete, imminent and severe threat — not the mere prospect of one.
We’re certainly not here to defend RT’s journalistic integrity (or lack thereof).
But the First Amendment protects Americans’ right to consume foreign propaganda if they so choose.
