Held at Sunder Nursery, the gathering brought together professionals from diverse organisations and backgrounds to unpack the hidden journey and environmental cost of the clothes we wear, from raw materials and labour to water, energy, production, transportation, and what happens when a garment is discarded.

 

​The conversation explored the realities of the textile and fashion industry, while also creating space for participants to reflect on their own consumption choices, sustainability, and the agency they hold as consumers.

​

Rather than framing sustainability around what we should simply stop buying, the conversation shifted towards a more creative question: what can we do differently with what we already have?

 

Participants explored how clothes can be repaired, restyled, reused, swapped, donated, repurposed, and given multiple lives.  

 

Ultimately, the Earth Talk asked and answered one big question: Can we save the planet and look damn good doing it? Yes.
