URGENT: France is about to pass a bill aimed at curbing fast
fashion but industry giant Shein is lobbying to derail it.

We can't let Shein sabotage this much needed legislation that would set a
new standard to protect our planet and its people. Tell France and all
governments: crack down on fast fashion!

John,

Shein is the largest fashion retailer in the world -- raking in billions
by using forced labour and churning out cheap plastic clothes that pollute
our planet. 

Governments all over the world are thinking about ways to curb the impact
of this destructive industry, and the French government is leading the way
with a historical bill that would set the tone for governments around the
world. 

But Shein's lobbyists are working day and night to stop the law from
passing. Let's build a massive call on France and all governments to
listen to us, the consumers, not powerful lobbyists, and protect our
planet from the harms of fast fashion:

The fashion industry is one of the biggest polluters – making up a
staggering 10% of the world’s carbon emissions. It dries up water sources,
pollutes rivers, and micro-plastics from clothes end up in our oceans and
seafood.

It’s crucial that the industry becomes green and fair.

France’s proposed law would completely ban fast fashion advertising and
put an environmental surcharge on fast fashion items sold. The money from
the surcharge would then go to eco-friendly brands to support more
sustainable fashion. It would be a game changer for how the industry
operates, but only if the biggest fashion retailer stops roadblocking
change.

We have come together and forced big fashion brands to change. When Ekō
members all around the world called on The Iconic and Loblaw to take
responsibility for the safety of its workers, the companies agreed to sign
the Fire and Building Safety Agreement.

Let’s create change again.
