Out of all fashion initiatives i’ve heard of this is kind of the BEST ONE SO GET YOUR FINGERS CALLING/EMAILING/TWEETING AT YOUR REPS! Theres a link on the website that makes it easy to find them if you don’t already know them! I put this in my story the other day and 7 people out of around 4000 swiped up and 3 of them signed the act. This is a tangible thing you can do if you’re not at capacity!!! So please swipe up from my bio and then drink some nettle tea and feel better about your day! Apparel and footwear are responsible for an enormous and under acknowledged part of global greenhouse gas emissions, between 4-8.6%. (By comparison, the entire United States accounts for 11%). It is an industry pumping out an endless flow of mostly plastic based products taking no responsibility for how it is made or the waste it creates. The fashion sector is not just an enormous polluter, it is also a leading industry in the use of exploited, forced and child labor. At the current pace fashion alone is set to account for over a quarter of the world’s carbon budget. This needs to stop. No more blah, blah, we need action. The Fashion Act S.7428 (Biaggi) / A.8352 (Kelles) is a groundbreaking piece of legislation that will shift the industry away from this race to the bottom by requiring mandatory social and environmental due diligence. It will further stop the fashion industry’s addiction to fossil fuels by requiring companies operate in line with the Paris Agreement. We can do better! I know politics are boring, but its the only way we can move things and we gotta move fast. #actonfashion
