Video of my preloved clothes and the impact of fashion

In June 2016 I wrote an article for New Internationalist Magazine about the impact of fashion on the environment. Greenpeace shared my article on their website, which got 500 likes. The link to my blog post ishttp://birdgirluk.blogspot.co.uk/2016/06/my-article-in-new-internationalist.html



I have made a fun video montage of my pre-loved clothes to raise awareness of the impact of fashion on the environment and people in places like Bangladesh including deforestation of ancient rainforest for rayon and why our throw away clothes culture must change.
