Sustainability in Fashion Industry - Interview with Tansy Hoskins, an award-winning author and journalist
In this podcast we dive into the subject of Sustainability in the Fashion industry, or rather the lack of thereof. Fashion industry generates more emissions than airline and shipping industry combined. According to UNEP, it is responsible for 10% of annual global emissions. While the global population of our planet has reached 8 billion people, we produce more than 100 billion items of clothing every year, most of which end up in the landfill within a year. The industry generates a huge amount of pollution, uses vast amounts of water and is a major cause of social injustice.
Huge thanks for Tansy Hoskins, an award-winning author, journalist, independent researcher and social justice campaigner, for this insightful interview, where she also talks about potential pathways to address the current situation. This interview was recorded for an upcoming training course Sustainability in Fashion which will be published by the end of April 2023.
