This article in the NYTimes references a new report from Cambridge University claiming that our culture of disposable fashion is contributing to global warming.

They mention that since M&S made the change to organic food products, sales have gone up by 12%. He says, “Customers will ask ‘what are you doing?’ So we’re doing a lot of thinking about what a sustainable clothing industry could look like in five years.”
