A ‘wear-once’ mentality and dirt-cheap offers have made fashion a leading pollutant. Can a new global ‘upcycling’ scheme change not only the industry, but how we think about dressing?
Full speed ahead sounds goodUN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres cut through the misinformation about the cost of renewables during his remarks after today's closed-door meeting with key Heads of State and Government, and we're so glad to hear it.![]()
