The UK needs to undergo a “cultural shift” when it comes to its relationship with buying clothes, a meeting of Leeds city councillors has heard.
A meeting of Leeds City Council’s climate emergency committee heard how “fast fashion” was driving huge amounts of clothing consumption that was bad for the environment.
Giving a presentation to members of the council’s climate emergency committee, Prof Stephen J Russell from the University of Leeds School of Design spoke about new technologies that could help the fashion industry to be less polluting and reliant on the oil industry.
