What is water? Fashion: Between the seams

We're highlighting the fast fashion debate and looking at our consumer behaviour. How much is too much? And what damage are we making? 

As well as the environmental impacts, there's also a water element through pollution and the sheer amount needed to make, for example, the jeans or T-shirt you're probably wearing right now.

Join us for the last episode of series 1 as Ed and I go between the seams of the fashion industry.
