Video of my preloved clothes and the impact of fashion

In June 2016 I wrote an article for New Internationalist Magazine about the impact of fashion on the environment. Greenpeace shared my article on their website, which got 500 likes. The link to my blog post ishttp://birdgirluk.blogspot.co.uk/2016/06/my-article-in-new-internationalist.html

I have made a fun video montage of my pre-loved clothes to raise awareness of the impact of fashion on the environment and people in places like Bangladesh including deforestation of ancient rainforest for rayon and why our throw away clothes culture must change.

My Article in New Internationalist Magazine

This is my latest article which is for New Internationalist Magazine Blog about the impact fashion has on the environment http://bit.ly/1ZP6zmu and is called "Why I love Pre-loved, Unloved and Recycled".

Wikipedia states:

New Internationalist is published by New Internationalist Publications, a co-operative-run publisher based in Oxford, England. It has editorial and sales offices in Toronto, Canada; Adelaide, Australia; Christchurch, New Zealand; and New York, USA.

Originally the group only published the New Internationalist magazine, co-sponsored by Oxfam and Christian Aid. Today sponsorship is no longer needed, the magazine being completely self-funded. Besides the income earned from sales of the magazine, the group now produces films, books and other materials for various United Nations and related bodies concerned with world development.
