We Fight Against fast Fashion
Open Those Eyes
Our Story
Wherever you see, Everybody is talking about Fast fashion, Trendy outfits and New collections every week. But what's the back of the story
- 85% of textiles go to landfills each year. This is around 92 million tons globally, the equivalent of a truckload of clothes being dumped every second.
- Fast fashion is a significant contributor, as the average person buys 60% more clothes today than they did 20 years ago but keeps them only half as long.
- Clothes in landfills can take up to 200 years to decompose, releasing harmful greenhouse gases like methane in the process.
- The fashion industry creates 10% of global carbon emissions, more than all international flights and shipping combined, and producing just one cotton t-shirt uses 2,700 liters of water—as much as a person drinks in 2.5 years.
- If fast fashion continues at this pace, the industry could make up 25% of the world’s carbon budget by 2030, and it's already responsible for 20% of global water waste from dyeing and fabric treatment.
And Guess what, It is not just a climate issue, It is also a FEMINIST ISSUE but how
- 80% of garment workers are women, many earning less than $3 a day in poor working conditions, often facing long hours and unsafe environments.
- Reports reveal widespread sexual harassment and abuse in factories, with nearly 50% of female garment workers in countries like Vietnam and Bangladesh experiencing workplace violence.
