#AreMyClothesHarmful?

The fashion industry has disastrous impacts on the environment, human health and rights. It's the second-largest polluter in the world, causing many negative environmental impacts like water pollution, waste, chemical pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and more. The social impacts of the fashion industry include inhumane and unsafe working conditions, excessive hours, poor wages (some garment workers aren't even paid the minimum legal salary), child labour, and more. We hope to demystify and shine a light on these issues so that we can push for ethical supply chains and company practices, and make better choices for ourselves and the planet. Paying homage to #WhoMadeMyClothes, as it is Fashion Revolution week April 19-25.

Sustainable Spring Cleaning

Join us for Sustainable Spring Cleaning! Our panellists will discuss the hidden wastefulness of donations, where our clothes end up in the global waste ecosystem, how we can declutter our closets sustainably, and living lighter through second-hand love. This webinar will be packed with tips and will have both a global lens and a focus on what is available in Vancouver for those in our local area.
Find out more about our panellists and our ClothesBusters Campaign here.
