Did you know that the fashion industry is the fourth biggest contributor to climate change after food, housing, and transport?

We need to move towards a more sustainable and circular textiles sector. It’s part of our Circular Economy Action Plan that covers the whole economy.

Our proposals will ensure that by 2030, all textile products placed on the EU market are long-lived and recyclable and produced in respect of social rights and the environment.

How about more naturism? @barelife

Another thing that worries me is the vast quantity of polyester and other 'plastic' fibres that are 'washed' out of modern clothing and thereby fed into our waterways and thence into the sea. Whereas cotton, wool, linen, silk and other natural fibres like hemp fibre will degrade harmlessly and fairly rapidly in rubbish tips, rivers and oceans, artificial fibres are generally much more persistent and add to the already huge quantities of microplastics accumulating on earth!

@EU_Commission that pesky EU, caring about stuff!

The most fashionable fashion should be the natural environment. 🤔

Shein is an example of the worst. Cheaply made (and priced) bulk fashion meant to be worn once then tossed.

Why doesn't everyone just wear uniforms? I'm sick of everything having to be magical all the time. Nature is already magical and we're trashing it.

Please don't leave out the US government, the biggest contributor to climate change in the world.

@EU_Commission 95% of retail fashion is made for straight sizes, ignoring the 47% plus who are plus sized. This creates tremendous amounts of waste because those straight sizes cannot possibly buy all the possibilities available to them. Waste could be DRASTICALLY reduced by encouraging fashion companies to make plus size fashion instead.
