Tell Governor Newsom: Reduce clothing waste

The fashion industry generates massive amounts of waste. Around the world, the equivalent of one dump truck of clothing is sent to a landfill or incinerator every second. Clothing overproduction is poisoning our water, contributing to climate change, and generating enough waste to fill the Great Wall of China twice by 2050.

California is on the verge of taking a critical step to tackle the state’s clothing waste, but we need our governor to act. A proposed first-in-the-nation program would require clothing companies to fund a statewide clothing collection and recycling program. This program would ensure less clothing is sent to landfills and encourage clothing companies to be more conscious of their output.

Send a message to Governor Newsom asking him to sign this important waste-busting program into law.
