Greenwashing: Is sustainable fashion a myth?

  • 0:55 -
    If you've been shopping in a mall
    or online for quilting recently,
  • Not Synced
    you may have noticed a trend.
  • Not Synced
    An increase in fashion
    promising is more sustainable.
  • Not Synced
    Even the printed design
    is plant based.
  • Not Synced
    Environmentally friendly.
  • Not Synced
    That's why 79% of our garments
  • Not Synced
    already have sustainable properties.
  • Not Synced
    More shoppers want fashion
    that is less impractful on the planet
  • Not Synced
    and companies are responding.
  • Not Synced
    It's a very very big trend right now.
  • Not Synced
    So there's a huge increase in the market
    of stuff leading us to be sustainable.
  • Not Synced
    While some companies
    are doing the right thing,
  • Not Synced
    many consumers we spoke with
    are skeptical.
  • Not Synced
    They're using all the right words
  • Not Synced
    but I don't see it actually
    being put into practice.
  • Not Synced
    If i'm going to by something
    that claims to be "eco",
  • Not Synced
    Am I asking the cashier
    like if they know?
  • Not Synced
    Honestly, no.
  • Not Synced
    Putting big terms like:
  • Not Synced
    natural, organic,
    sustainable, vegan.
  • Not Synced
    Those kinds of terms
    are being used.
