A three trillion dollar industry, fashion is responsible for 20% of the global wastewater generated through pesticides for land cultivation, dyes and textiles – which often flows back into the ocean. The Ocean Decade endorsed Activity “Ocean Flag”, showcased during the 2022 UN Ocean Conference in Lisbon, Portugal, aims to bridge the gap between fashion’s environmental pollution and educating the public on the detriments of climate change on the ocean through the lens of fashion.
