The fashion industry is one of the most polluting industries, accounting for 10 per cent of the global carbon dioxide output.

Thankfully, a lot of brands have started to recognize their footprint and are making efforts to prioritize sustainable fashion. This means creating “fashion that is developed by companies that pay their workers a living wage, give them safe, healthy working conditions and monitors its environmental impact, taking care to use more sustainable materials and reduce resource use throughout their products’ life cycle,” according to Eco Canada.
