Changemakers - What role do activists play in sustainable fashion?
Manage episode 353427419 series 2925684
We often ask the question, “can fashion ever truly be sustainable?” According to BBC futures, more of us now understand that the fashion industry accounts for about 10% of global carbon emissions, and nearly 20% of wastewater. And while the environmental impact of flying is now well known, fashion uses more energy than both aviation and shipping combined.”
Welcome to Changemakers. This is a 5 part mini series focussing on the people and businesses making impactful changes in the sustainable fashion space.
Food for thought interlude: Is radical activism always a useful method to make change in the sustainability space, or can this push away from the original focus lead to backlash? ( e.g. JustStopOil methods of throwing soup on famous paintings)
Guests:
Jemma Finch - Founder & CEO, Stories Behind Things
Samata Pattinson - CEO of Suzy Amis Cameron’s RCGD Global
Sol Escobar - Founder & Director of Give Your Best
