Happy #WorldWaterDay ! Did you know that every year the fashion industry consumes an estimated 79 billion cubic metres of fresh water?! 20% of industrial water pollution across the globe is from the dyeing and treatment of textiles! Let's get together to change that and make fashion better by working towards #sdg6 clean water and sanitation 💪🌍💧 #disruptfashion #regeneratefashion #sdgs #sdgsforbetterfashion #sustainabledevelopmentgoals #globalgoals #2030 #sustainablefashion

On the final day of London Fashion Week the UK Parliament has released a report on the environmental and human costs of the fashion industry. The Environmental Audit Committee calls on the Government to make fashion retailers take responsibility for the waste they create. .... Environmental Audit Committee Chair Mary Creagh MP said: “Fashion shouldn’t cost the earth. Our insatiable appetite for clothes comes with a huge social and environmental price tag: carbon emissions, water use, chemical and plastic pollution are all destroying our environment. “In the UK we buy more clothes per person than any other country in Europe. ‘Fast fashion’ means we overconsume and under use clothes. As a result, we get rid of over a million tonnes of clothes, with £140m worth going to landfill, every year. “Fashion retailers must take responsibility for the clothes they produce. That means asking producers to consider and pay for the end of life process for their products through a new Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) scheme. The Government must act to end the era of throwaway fashion by incentivising companies that offer sustainable designs and repair services. Children should be taught the joy of making and mending clothes in school as an antidote to anxiety and the mental health crisis in teenagers. Consumers must play their part by buying less, mending, renting and sharing more.” On workers’ rights Chair Mary Creagh MP commented: “Fashion retailers have 'chased the cheap needle around the planet', commissioning production in countries with low pay and little trade union representation. Behind the perfect Instagram profiles and the pristine shop fronts of our fashion retailers the reality is shocking. Illegally low pay, the use of child labour, prison labour, forced labour and bonded labour in the global garment supply chain. “We recommend that the Government strengthen the Modern Slavery Act to require large companies to ensure forced labour is not in their supply chains. Retailers including Foot Locker and Versace are failing to comply with the Modern Slavery Act. Company law must be updated to require modern slavery disclosures by 2022."

Do it for David Attenborough 🌍🌍🌍 Yesterday at @worldeconomicforum Sir David Attenborough reminds us to stay positive and work towards the globalgoals 💪💪 Repost from @wwf_uk - “It’s tempting to ignore the evidence, or be filled with doom and gloom, but a world with clean air and water, unlimited energy and fish stocks that will sustain us is possible”, David Attenborough has said. Picking up his Crystal Award, for exceptional cultural leadership, at #WEF19, he told global leaders that to achieve this “we need a plan. What we do in the next few years will profoundly affect the next thousand years.” . Our Ambassador highlights the critical position we’re in to put the world on the path to a better future. We need to move beyond guilt or blame and get on with the practical tasks at hand. We need a #NewDealForNature and people. . Click the link in our bio to send an email to your MP, asking them to join the #FightForYourWorld and make the UK a leader in the drive for a new, global deal for nature. . @worldeconomicforum #DavidAttenborough #NatureMatters #ClimateChange #disruptfashion #regeneratefashion #sdgs #sdgsforbetterfashion #sustainabledevelopmentgoals #globalgoals #2030 #sustainablefashion - #regrann
