WHAT?
The garment industry has enormous negative impacts on our environment and it’s growing!
We purchase 60% more clothing now than we did in 2000, but keep our clothes for half as long.
WHO?
We are all affected… the planet, the animals and creatures who live on it.
The underpaid garment workers risking their lives to churn out cheap clothing.
