The British Broadcasting Company (BBC) launched an ethical fashion ezine named “Threadâ€. The online magazine seeks to address issues many fashion-conscious and environmentally-responsible people constantly grapple with such as the damage sustained by the environment due to irresponsible and unethical practices on the part of the fashion industry, sustainability, human and animal rights, fair trade practices, etc.
Most of the issues relevant here are interrelated and the answers to those issues are very complex. But I love the BBC's forward thinking move.
