This blog was originally based on a course ran by Professor Nick Gray of the Trinity Centre for the Environment at Trinity College Dublin who also wrote a textbook for the module Facing up to global warming: What is going on and what you can do about it. Now working as an independent consultant, Nick continues to work in the area of environmental sustainability and looking at ways of making a difference without recriminations or guilt. Saving the planet is all about living sustainably.

Lucy Siegle - Ethical Fashion



Lucy Siegle is the author of a very interesting and challenging book ‘To Die For: Is Fashion Wearing Out the World.’
I think that the relationship between fashion, global economy (especially in the poorer areas of the world) and greenhouse gas emissions is a fascinating one.  It isn’t just about sourcing better and more sustainable fibres, it is the way we actually use and perceive  fashion in our everyday lives.  
Here is Lucy Siegle being interviewed for Chic Chat (shown onTHE OUTNET)
