Did you know that fast fashion is responsible for a whopping 10% of carbon emissions? And that this is higher than aviation and shipping combined?
Other fast fashion facts:
*one third of fast fashion garments end up in landfill within the year of being purchased;
*more than one third of microplastics in the ocean come from fashion textiles;
*and the great majority of women workers who sew fast fashion clothing do not earn the minimum wage.
These are four good reasons to #endfastfashion and to choose instead to #reducereuserepairrebel as a way to address the #ClimateEmergency
Of course, it’s not just an individual choice; we need a systems approach and our governments must #ActNow to regulate the fast fashion industry.
Join us today to demand urgent action on the #climatecrisis
