Often one of the first ways that young people start to express themselves is via fashion, but fashion comes with a considerable environmental footprint. Textile production accounts for around 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions, and uses 1.5 trillion litres of water annually. And we all wear clothes.
In today's episode I'm chatting to someone who is on a mission to get young people engaged with slow fashion. Tze Ching is the founder of Refashion My Town, which is educating young people about the impacts of their clothing choices, and equip them with the skills and resources they need to repair and upcycle their own clothes.

There are so many great ideas in here, that all of us can get involved with, whether it's with young people or with our wider community. Do let me know if you're inspired after listening to this to think about a mending circle, clothes swap, upcycling workshop, or something else!

Enjoy!
