Good On You – The App You Need To Download

Fast fashion started in the 1990s and has rapidly grown since. A majority of people purchase clothes from big brands that mass-produce the latest trends, and we often go without considering where the clothes come from and their effect on the environment. Fast fashion companies are everywhere, and that often makes it seem like they're easier to shop from. But thankfully, the new app, Good On You, makes shopping sustainable simpler than it's ever been.

The Good On You app has many uses and benefits, the most known being the ability to look up a brand and see a rating quickly. Good On You bases the ratings on the most critical social and environmental issues facing the fashion industry to assess a brand's impact on people, the planet, and animals. This feature makes it easy to quickly know the nature of a brand when you’re looking tomake a new purchase. Generally, there will be a sentence or two on the areas the brand needs to approve.
