7 15 Issue 82 / 2015 FASHION guestlist.net Around the UN Climate Change Conference, more than 600,000 people from over 175 countries have taken to the streets, calling for strong deal that will ensure a quick transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy FASHION KILLERS In light of this, it is necessary to put the environmental problems into context. That context is the fashion industry, often very much overlooked, with greenhouse gases and vehicle pollution often being the big 'go-to' terms. Nonetheless, the damage caused by the fashion industry on the environment is actually staggering when you look at it. Reformation and Community Recycling, found that each year 85% or 10.5 million tons of unwanted clothing and accessories end up in landfills. Although the majority of the world's apparel brands are U.S based, more than 60% is manufactured in developing countries. This means the extremely high exportation levels from countries like China, to all around the world. According to EcoWatch, one cargo ship that transports clothing can produce as much cancer and asthma pollutants as 50 million cars, in just one year of transportation. There is also the human cost that comes with the fashion industry. Massive corporate fashion companies like Nike and Gap, have been outted in recent years.

It's not too late to turn this around, no matter how difficult it will be (and it will be difficult). An increasing number of clothing brands are making efforts to recycle or at least extend clothing life. H&M and American Eagle are now collecting used clothes in their stores and either donating them to charity shops or repurposing them into new clothes or another product. The massive Levi Strauss & co. are also recycling clothes (but still finding ways to make money) by selling their wearable recycled clothes. But still with the majority of clothing brands not invloved with any clothing recycling initiative, there's still a long way to go. CHRISTMAS JUMPERS THAT AREN'T TOAL SHIT It's that time of year again folks – Christmas jumper season.
