Protecting children and the planet from fashion’s plastics and chemicals addiction

The fashion industry is hard to live without, yet it remains one of the least regulated industries. Fashion brands rely heavily on thousands of chemicals and mountains of plastic to create products that most of us wear every day, putting consumers, community members, and a safe climate at risk.

Hear from Maya Rommwatt, Director of Campaigns and Programs of Defend Our Health, about their recent scorecard, which ranks ten popular kids’ clothing brands on their efforts to use less plastic and fewer toxic chemicals. She’ll explain why kids are more at risk from chemical exposures, how the fast fashion business model has created an insatiable demand for plastic clothes, and what consumers can do to try to protect themselves and push for meaningful change at the industry level.
