Every year in Christchurch we send almost 13,000 tonnes of textile waste to landfill, it makes up a whooping 6.2% of our total waste. The fashion industry is the worlds second largest greenhouse gas emitter. Millions of people work in conditions that equate to modern day slavery to feed our fast fashion addiction. It's time to make a change. Join our panel of resident experts to see how they and you can be part of a global movement to revolutionise the fashion industry. Follow this up with a Clothing Swap, an in house repair café and a few local up-cyclers sharing their wares. 6.30-10.30pm Wednesday 30th October Level 1, Craft Beer and Coffee Bar 1/217 Marine Pde, New Brighton CLOTHING SWAP Get into those drawers and get out your best but no longer worn quality fashion items.
