"2 billion pairs of jeans are
produced every year, and a
typical pair takes 7,000 litres
of water to produce. For a
t-shirt, it takes 2,700 litres of
water to make just one - that’s
the amount of water an average
person drinks over the course
of 900 days"
"Each year over 80 billion
pieces of clothing are produced
worldwide, and after its short
lifespan, three out of four
garments will end up in
landfills or be incinerated. Only
a quarter will be recycled."
