Do you order lots of clothes online and then return them if they don't fit or you simply don't like them? Well you may be one of the reasons why the fashion industry accounts for up to 4% of global emissions. 100 billion garments are made every year and 70% of them are plastic-based textiles such as polyester or Nylon. Almost 90% of these shirts and coats and trousers will end up in landfills. Terran Fielder is with the NGO EarthDay.org and believes it doesn't have to be that way.
