As we focus on ways to help the planet this month, we should take into account the impact the fast fashion industry has on the environment. @ecofashionista joins @Ross_Hull to discuss the harm of the industry and ways to reduce our shopping habits.

Thank you to @amandamull of the @TheAtlantic for giving the topic of “vegan leather” the attention it deserves! Greenwashing won't cut it anymore. It’s important that consumers know that "vegan leather" made from plastic-covered plants or fungi is neither scalable nor eco-friendly. theatlantic.com/technology/a… MIRUM® is the only 100% biobased leather alternative commercially available today. Created using NFW’s patented plant-based curative – the first bioneutral alternative to petrochemical, chrome-based, and sulfur-based systems – MIRUM® is unique in its ability to deliver functionality, durability, and aesthetic beauty without relying on synthetics.

🚨🧵(1/3) ACTION ALERT: The Accord has been expanded to protect millions of garment workers in Pakistan but these 12 brands have yet to #SignTheAccord to protect workers. Instead, they're putting their profits above the lives of garment workers in Bangladesh and Pakistan.
