Fast fashion produces far too many garments and is a major polluter (second after oil). Everyone has a responsibility — from manufacturers to consumers — to act: buy smarter or kinder, care for and reuse what already exists, and make small personal changes now. You don’t have to be perfect; doing less harm and more good is what matters.
La fast fashion produit beaucoup trop de vêtements et est un grand pollueur (deuxième après le pétrole). Chacun a une responsabilité — des fabricants aux consommateurs — pour agir : acheter de manière plus responsable, prendre soin de ce qui existe déjà, réutiliser et commencer dès maintenant de petits changements. Pas besoin d’être parfait ; l’important est de faire moins de mal et plus de bien.
Script — Fast Fashion
Woman 1: No one is going to change the world by themselves. But if each person starts to make small changes, it’s like a revolution. The situation is bad. Fashion is currently the second biggest polluter of the planet after oil. Obviously, we’ve all got a part to play. From the manufacturers of fabrics to the consumer, there is responsibility to think about how you buy them and how you dispose of them and how you make them. All of that. I think it’s time for people to take action in their own lives. And if we could all make like little changes, no one has to be perfect. It really will make a massive impact on the planet. There’s no time like the present to get started. So you might have to start now.
Josephine Jones, designer: Fast fashion is the production of an unnecessarily large amount of garments. Fast fashion is out. It’s about looking after what we have, thinking about what already exists. You don’t have to give up your glamour to be sustainable. There are things that have already been made that we can continue to enjoy in a healthy way. Don’t buy less necessarily. Buy smarter or buy kinder. It literally sometimes is putting money where your mouth is. It’s not about being perfect. It’s just about being better, do less harm, do more good.

Knitting helps Tom Daley switch off
Olympian Tom Daley is the most decorated diver in Britain’s history. He is also an avid knitter. At the Paris 2024 Olympics Daley added a fifth medal to his collection. He caught the world’s attention knitting a bright blue “Paris 24” jumper while travelling to the games and in the stands. At the Tokyo Olympics, where Daley was first spotted knitting, he explained its positive impact on his mental health. “It just turned into my mindfulness, my meditation, my calm and my way to escape the stresses of everyday life and, in particular, going to an Olympics.”
Olympics-level sport relies on perfect scores and world records. When it comes to knitting, many of the mental health benefits are associated with the process, rather than the end result. Daley says knitting is the “one thing” that allows him to switch off completely, describing it as “my therapy”.
Knitting’s been shown to have benefits relieving stress in high-pressure jobs beyond elite sport.
