Fashion’s Impact on our Planet

In January, our team held a discussion about the environmental cost of synthetic fabrics after screening a CBC documentary on the topic after church. We’ve posted a few articles on our bulletin board downstairs about the impact of fast fashion on our planet. Watch the videos listed below to learn more:

• CBC Planet Wonder Episode 8, June 29, 2923, hosted by Johanna Wagstaffe: How is going back to natural fabrics the way to be fashion forward?
