I guess I've been living under a rock, but I just found out that the fashion industry is just a terrible polluter, right up there with the Oil and gas Industry.

Some crazy numbers from one article I read.

https://www.sustainyourstyle.org/old...mental-impacts

20,000 liters of water to produce one kilogram of cotton.

20% of Industrial water pollution comes from textiles.

23% of all chemicals produced are for fashion.

It just goes on and on.

Maybe it's just the Alberta bubble I live in, but I don't hear much teeth nashing from the celebrity sphere in regards to fashion, and nothing fashion related seems to get protested like a pipeline does.

And while Oil and Gas is not super friendly for the world, it does a tremendous amount of good in terms of quality of life.

Fashion does nothing for anything.
