Fast Fashion sweatshops consume 93 billion cubic meters of water annually. As much as 7,500 liters are required to make a single pair of jeans. Every year approximately 500 million tons of microfiber plastic is dumped into the oceans. I imagine living in a world where people and the environment are treated with respect and care. Each of us has a moral obligation to care for Mother Earth and make better choices.
