NASSAU, BAHAMAS – A local climate change specialist has been vocal about climate emergencies this summer, but she also does work on the everyday choices we make that can make a difference on our carbon footprint.
Marjahn Finlayson is a climate change specialist and co-founder of DAPS Bahamas, standing for development advancement preservation and sustainability.
One of DAPS’ initiatives has been to bring the culture of thrift shopping back to Eleuthera in hopes of combatting the demand for fast fashion.
Beyond the pollutants involved in making them, Finlayson says the environment also suffers when the time comes to discard them.
In another sustainability first segment, we told you how the fashion industry is responsible for 20% of global wastewater, and when it comes to ocean water the fashion industry plays a role in 35% of the oceans’ microplastics.
Finlayson also speaks about teaching people how to care for and extend the life of their items.
