Fast Facts

Fashion continues to be one of the most polluting industries in the world. According to Forbes, the fashion industry is responsible for about 10 percent of the carbon footprint in the world. A main cause for them being one of the worst polluters is the massive amount of overproduction. Clothes are usually worn a limited amount of times then they are thrown away.

It’s wasteful and harmful to the environment.

Polyester production for textiles released about 706 billion kg (1.5 trillion pounds) of greenhouse gases in 2015, the equivalent of 185 coal-fired power plants’ annual emissions.
The water used for making our apparel is about equivalent to 32 million Olympic swimming pools.
Halloween costumes are only worn once a night every year but it is estimated that the US spends over 2.6 billion dollars on them.
Almost 70 million barrels of oil are used each year to produce the worlds polyester fiber (the most common fiber used in clothing) and it takes more than 200 years to decompose.
