Synopsis

Did you know that it takes just as much water to make a pair of jeans as you can drink in ten years? And did you know that in Ghana there's a mountain of old clothes from around the world that no one wants to wear?

We buy more clothes than ever and the fashion industry produces new clothes at a rate never seen before. It is tough on our planet and the climate.

This book explains in an accessible language how the production of clothes challenges the climate, nature and the people who make it - and gives solid advice on how you, as a young person, can shop sustainably and stay on the beat.
