Our addiction to fast fashion is negating efforts to address climate change
With our increasing addiction to fast fashion, energy consumption and associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions will only increase, negating our efforts to address climate change. But the story does not end there. Limited natural resources, environmental impacts of the fashion industry and the urgency to limit global GHG emissions requires that the fashion industry change soon. The industry, including raw material producers, textile producers, apparel manufacturers and brands should find ways to be greener by putting in place the new approaches throughout the value chain.
