A
Hello,
I'm
carrie
from
sussex,
green
living.
We
provide
environmental
awareness
and
education
for
children
and
adults
in
2012.
When
my
son
was
about
four
years
old,
I
became
quite
depressed
about
his
future
on
planet
earth.
So
I
thought,
let's
do
something
and
I
set
up
sussex
green
living
each
year.
Our
charity
has
grown
year
on
year.
We
now
have
an
army
or
the
green
cavalry,
as
I
call
them
of
people
helping
us.
A
A
I
was
born
back
in
the
60s
and
in
the
60s
and
70s
people
mainly
bought
clothes
and
treasured
them.
They
repaired
them.
They
adapted
them.
They
took
them
up,
they
took
them
in,
they
handed
them
down
to
younger
and
smaller
children
and
adults.
There
were
jungle
sales,
but
we
treasured
our
clothes.
We
really
looked
after
them,
but
gradually
over
the
years
the
fashion
industry
has
become
totally
unsustainable.
It
is
now
the
second
most
polluting
industry
on
the
planet
so
fast
forwards.
A
A
They
moved
to
places
like
china,
because
the
factories,
the
manufacturing
the
labor,
was
a
lot
cheaper
and
they
could
mass
produce
producing
huge
quantities
of
clothes
for
very,
very
low
costs,
make
much
more
money,
so
the
fast
fashion
industry
was
born.
Make
it
fast
buy
it
fast
dump.
It
fast
is
what's
actually
been
happening.
A
This
graft
actually
shows
yep
the
rise
in
the
fast
fashion
industry,
but
also
the
blue
line
actually
shows
the
clothing
utilization.
So
that's
where
throwaway
fashion
really
starts
to
show
itself.
This
graph
only
goes
up
to
2015,
but
it
gives
you
an
idea
of
even
what's
going
on
now,
then
a
year
or
so
later,
a
few
years
later,
a
lot
of
the
brands
started
to
move
to
other
countries
in
asia,
bangladesh
bangladesh
has
about
6
000
factories,
it's
a
tiny
country,
but
it's
got
about
6
000,
fast
fashion
factories.
A
Now
these
are
in
huge
factories,
very
cramped
conditions,
as
you
see
here,
people
often
working
14
to
16
hours
a
day,
seven
days
a
week,
often
finishing
at
about
three
in
the
morning
and
starting
about
seven
a
few
hours
later,
very
often
there
are
children
working
in
these
factories.
It's
slave
labor,
it's
absolute
slave
labor
and
they
earn
about
25
pounds
a
month.
So
I
don't
think
there
are
you
or
I
would
want
to
be
doing
that
this
graph
shows
you
really
2019
have
the
main
producers
of
our
fashion.
A
China's
about
10
000
miles
away?
Well,
they're
certainly
not
transported
using
a
sailing
ship,
they're,
generally
lorries
and
great
big
cargo
ships
and
burning
fossil
fuel
when
we
burn
fossil
fuel,
we're
releasing
carbon
dioxide
and
causing
climate
change.
Other
problems
are
the
air
pollution
in
the
areas
where
these
large
factories
are
and
the
water
pollution.
A
So
these
factories
are
using
fossil
fuel,
so
some
of
the
towns
are
unlivable
the
water.
Well,
it's
that
color,
because
the
environmental
standards
in
many
of
these
countries
are
really
really
low.
In
the
uk
we
would
have
to
actually
dispose
of
chemical
dyes
chemicals
very
responsibly,
but
out
there.
The
environmental
laws
are
probably
non-existent
in
many
areas,
and
so
they
pump
these
chemical
dyes
straight
out
into
the
rivers.
A
A
Now
what
you
have
to
remember
is
these
clothes
are
made
in
countries
that
are
really
hot
they're
suffering,
some
of
the
worst
effects
of
climate
change
and
many
of
the
poor
people
that
work
in
these
factories
don't
have
fresh
drinking
water
at
home.
So
this
is
totally
environmentally
and
socially
unsustainable
and
unacceptable.
A
A
They
tend
to
go
very
often
to
countries
like
africa
now,
if
would
seem
like
a
really
good
idea,
wouldn't
it,
but
if
you
consider
the
material
has
probably
been
grown
in
a
country
in
asia,
it's
traveled
around
asia
to
be
made.
It's
then
travelled
by
cargo
ship
using
fossil
fuels
through
the
sewers
canal
through
the
mediterranean
to
the
uk,
because
it
was
cheap.
It's
got
dumped
very
quickly
and
very
often
it
ends
up
in
places
like
kenya.
A
A
So
charity
shops?
If
you
give
your
clothes
to
a
charity
shop,
you
must
buy
from
a
charity
shop
they're
getting
too
many
clothes,
and
that's
one
way
of
being
really
green
is
to
buy
secondhand
jumble
sales,
second-hand
sales
kilo
sales,
where
you
pay
something
like
10
pounds
for
a
kilo
of
clothes.
You
get
many
clothes
for
that.
Some
countries,
clothes
libraries,
are
popping
up
swishing
and
swapping
have
a
party
with
a
friend.
A
A
So
I'm
one
of
the
founders
of
the
horsham
repair
cafe.
It
was
the
first
repair
cafe
in
west
sussex.
Now
I
think,
there's
about
eight.
So
if
you
want
to
find
your
nearest
repair
cafe,
I'm
just
going
to
this
website
put
in
your
postcode
and
you'll
be
able
to
find
where
your
nearest
repair
cafe
is,
and
maybe
you
could
help
your
nearest
repair
cafe.
