Communities living near textile manufacturing facilities face water pollution as a daily reality. Regulations have not always prevented the release of toxic chemicals into the environment, particularly in the Global South. That\\u2019s why we need companies to commit to end the release of chemicals to stop tarnishing our rivers, lakes, lands, oceans and people.&quot;,&quot;link_new_tab&quot;:false},{&quot;title&quot;:&quot;The problem&quot;,&quot;description&quot;:&quot;If the fashion industry has the power to influence trends, then it also has the power to play a positive role in protecting the planet. Since July 2011, Greenpeace has secured commitments from international brands, retailers and suppliers to eliminate hazardous chemicals, including help to trigger policy changes in Europe and Asia. Eliminating toxic chemicals is just the start. From fast fashion to textile waste, we need the global textile industry to be a true \\u2018trend setter\\u2019, and take a stand on the environmental and human impact of fashion.&quot;,&quot;link_new_tab&quot;:false}],&quot;className&quot;:&quot;is-style-no_image&quot;,&quot;columns_block_style&quot;:&quot;no_image&quot;}}\"><\/div><div data-render=\"planet4-blocks\/columns\" data-attributes=\"{&quot;attributes&quot;:{&quot;columns_block_style&quot;:&quot;tasks&quot;,&quot;columns_title&quot;:&quot;What you can do&quot;,&quot;columns&quot;:[{&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Learn about the Detox campaign&quot;,&quot;description&quot;:&quot;Learn about the progress made by 80 Detox committed brands and companies&quot;,&quot;cta_link&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.greenpeace.org\\\/international\\\/publication\\\/17612\\\/destination-zero\\\/&quot;,&quot;cta_text&quot;:&quot;Learn more&quot;,&quot;link_new_tab&quot;:false},{&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Buy nothing - make something!&quot;,&quot;description&quot;:&quot;Looking for creative ways to extend and enhance the life of your clothes?
