The astonishing amount of water used to make a pair of jeans!
BBC – 2019
Influencer Grace Mandeville presents a new short form docu-series for BBC iPlayer to see whether we can still enjoy the thrill of shopping for fashion while doing it consciously and sustainably.
Grace Mandeville learns how many thousands of litres of water go into a single item of clothes and questions whether to stop wearing jeans. This timely 6-part series of 5 minute episodes follows vlogger and fashion lover Grace as she explores the many alternatives to fast fashion.
With billions of clothes being produced every year, many young people like Grace are growing increasingly concerned about the impact their shopping habits are having on the planet. Each episode tackles a different area of the fashion industry as Grace searches for what we can all do to use less water, reduce our use of plastic and cut down on wasteful fashion.
