If fashion were a country, it would be the world’s third-largest greenhouse gas emitter after China and the U.S., contributing about 10% of global emissions.
Each year, clothing production uses enough water to provide for 5 million people, while at the same time, up to 92 million tons of used clothes end up in landfills. This is the age of fast fashion – cheap, mass-produced clothes designed to reflect the latest trends, with new collections being released all the time to tempt us into buying more.
So, how can we dress up without chewing up the planet? In this episode, we expose the naked truth behind fast fashion and its impacts on communities in the Global South, as well as potential ways to forge a greener future for our clothes.
