Put tighter regulations on the fashion industry to promote sustainability
Stacey Dooley's documentary Fashion's Dirty Secrets reveals the fashion industry is the second most polluting industry in the world. There needs to be more regulation from the UK government and international community to hold retailers accountable and promote sustainable methods of production.
The contemporary wave of fast fashion is responsible for a vast and terrifying range of environmental concerns. These include: depletion of water resources due to intensive cotton crop farming; pollution of rivers and oceans due to factories dumping toxic waste irresponsibly; and the increase in health issues due to these pollutants.
