About this resource
This resource teaches us about the dependency of the fashion industry on fossil fuels. Oil is heavily consumed during the production of synthetic fibres. To give you a rough idea about the scale of use, more oil is consumed by the fashion industry annually, than the entirety of the country of Spain.
Why we recommend this resource
Fast fashion is everywhere and consuming it feels inescapable. This report helps us learn about how heavily the fashion industry depends on fossil fuels, and how as of current trends, it is only projected to increase in the coming years. The report is extremely relevant in today’s age of rampant overconsumption and provides necessary information for regular people to make better, informed purchases.
