We often ask the question, “can fashion ever truly be sustainable?” According to BBC futures, more of us now understand that the fashion industry accounts for about 10% of global carbon emissions, and nearly 20% of wastewater. And while the environmental impact of flying is now well known, fashion uses more energy than both aviation and shipping combined.”

Welcome to Changemakers. This is a 5 part mini series focussing on the people and businesses making impactful changes in the sustainable fashion space.

Food for thought interlude: What was the most shocking piece of information you learned about the effects of the fashion industry on the climate, that forced you to shift your perspective and take action in your own life?
