My Clothes My World
We have teamed up with Fashion Takes Action to empower young people to become change makers in the world of sustainable fashion.
Solving Fashion's Waste Problem
Did you know that each year, the world generates approximately 92 million tonnes of clothing waste? This is about a lorry load full of clothes being added to landfill or incineration sites across the globe every second of every day!
In the UK alone, between 300,000 and 350,000 tonnes of clothing are discarded every year - how we consume and dispose of clothing has far-reaching effects on human communities and natural environments in the UK and around the world.
​
Designed by industry experts, this workshop makes climate action relatable, practical, and fun.
