The Aftermath of Fast Fashion: Textile Waste and Environmental Impact

The Aftermath of Fast Fashion: Textile Waste and Environmental Impact

After oil, fast fashion is the second most polluting industry on the planet, producing 4% of the world's total carbon emissions. It takes 2,000 gallons of water to make just 1 pair of jeans. 87% of materials used to make clothing are landfilled — one truckload every second. Join us to learn from researcher Julia DeVoy about the current status of textile waste in the United States and its global public health impacts.
