What do your clothes have to do with nature? Everything! Fashion might seem far removed from forests, oceans, water, or wildlife, but the journey of our clothing is deeply connected to the natural world—from the natural resources they come from, to the finished pieces in our closets. You’ll also learn how WWF is helping the apparel industry protect nature, with Payal Luthra, WWF’s Global Apparel and Textiles Lead, sharing how she works with companies around the world to make clothing in ways that are better for people and the planet.
