Who hasn't heard the sirens over climate change. About Planet Earth in deep trouble. About plastic bottles and plastic particles choking off marine life. About carbon footprints and worries over clean air. About decimated forests leaving birds in search of food they cannot find. What you may not fully grasp, however, is how much the fashion industry pollutes an already threatened planet. Fasten your crushed leather belts, then. Fashion Pollution spells everything out: You 'll read about how we buy garments we don't need, yawn twice, throw and resulting landfills; the vast amounts of water that are spent on cotton production; dyes and chemical finishes that end up in our waterways, and more. But Fashion Pollution goes beyond the sirens too. The book reports on thoughtful ninjas in the trade with eco-friendly solutions, from labs to unique gardens, to fresh business models. They want a new chapter in the clothes we buy and how we value the garments we wear.
