How often do buy a new piece of clothing? Once a year? Once a month? Or maybe once a week? What people often not realise, is that the fashion industry is the second largest polluting industry, accounting for approximately ten percent of the planet’s carbon emissions. When working towards a net-zero society, this topic is sadly underexposed, but crucial for reaching our goals.

  • Find out what you can do to reduce emissions 
  • Learn the complexity of the problem of fast fashion
