Livia Firth ignites her next wave of attacks against Big Oil.
Vanessa Nakate, Cameren Bullins, Rachel Kitchin, Livia Firth, Harjeet Singh and George Harding-Rolls attend Fossil Fuel Fashion Campaign event during Climate Week.and Harjeet Singh, global engagement director to the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty, joined climate and human rights leaders to launch the “Fossil Fuel Fashion” campaign Tuesday night. The call to action centers the need for binding legislation to help fashion break free from fossil fuel derivatives.
“More than any other industry, fashion drives and thrives off the inequality between the Global North and the Global South,” Nakate, who is also a UNICEF Goodwill ambassador, said in a statement. “While fashion companies grow rich on a fast-fashion business model fed by fossil fuels, they dump their waste and pollution on countries in the Global South least equipped to deal with it. A fast, fair phase out of fossil fuels from fashion is critical for climate justice.
Both Firth and Harding-Rolls took a firm stance against overconsumption and overproduction as incumbent to evolving sustainable progress, with Firth highlighting past commitments such as Eco-Age’s microplastics lobbying which led to microplastics inclusion in some policy revisions.
