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.

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.
