I am showing this to my college students tonight in class. Thank you Rep Pingree for challenging fast fashion. #climatechange #environmental

[Congresswoman Chellie Pingree @chelliepingree]

Maybe you've never heard of "fast fashion" but cheaply made, easily discarded clothes have created landfills so big they are visible from space!

These tossed-out garments break down into methane gas + add to the #climate crisis. The federal gov't can't ignore textile pollution.
