Fashion Produces 10 Percent of Global Carbon Emissions

The fashion industry is responsible for around 10 percent of global carbon emissions, more than international flights and shipping combined.

Buy fewer, better pieces and wear them longer, since extending a garment’s life by nine months cuts its footprint by about 30 percent.

Choose natural fibers and secondhand when you can, because a thrifted item avoids the emissions of making something new entirely.

Care for what you own by washing cold and air-drying, and repair small tears instead of replacing the whole piece.
