Fashion + Climate Change
Following a year of global Climate Strikes, sparked by Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, we allocated September 2019's campaign to explaining the role of fashion in the climate crisis, to help inspire action.
In Sept 2019, we partnered with Extinction Rebellion to investigate the relationship between Fashion + Climate Change, at a time when Greta Thunberg was addressing the world with her emotionally charged speech at the UN Climate Action Summit. We wanted to share our community’s thoughts and stories on this topic.
