Greta Thunberg: For 3 years I haven't bought new clothes and borrowed from acquaintances
Climate activist Greta Thunberg has used her appearance on the cover of the first issue of Scandinavian Vogue to criticize fast fashion.
The Swedish woman published on her personal page on social media, the day before yesterday, a picture of her on the front page of the new Scandinavian edition of Vogue fashion magazine.
"The fashion industry is a significant contributor to the climate and environmental emergency, as well as its impact on countless workers and communities being exploited around the world so that some enjoy fast fashion that many treat as consumer products," she wrote in posts on her Twitter and Instagram pages. .
Some in the field, she wrote, are using costly campaigns to give the impression that they are sustainable and climate-neutral.
It's always "green camouflage," Thunberg said, referring to the actions companies take to portray themselves as green without actually doing anything positive for the environment.
"You cannot produce or consume fashion in large quantities" and sustainably, "as is happening in the world today," she wrote.
This is one of the many reasons why we need to change the system.”
Thunberg said in an interview with Vogue that she hasn't bought new clothes in years.
She added: “The last time I bought something new was three years ago and it was used.
I only borrow things from people I know.”
The magazine itself said in a press release that it shares its values with Thunberg on sustainable living and environmental protection.
The magazine stated that the clothes that Thunberg wore during the magazine shoot were made from sustainable, recycled materials.
