A shocking amount of water is needed to produce even the simplest garment, and as is often the case, the water on the other side of many steps of the fabric and garment-making process is left polluted and unusable. It is also often the only water available to communities, who now face unthinkable diseases after having no choice but to drink their industry-contaminated water. 

Aurélie Rossini is a board member for and works with the Berlin-based organization, Drip by Drip. They are tackling the issue head on, including affordable filtration systems to reclaim polluted water, textiles developed with water in mind, design initiatives for students, and finished garments. Clean drinking water is a human right. Join us in learning about the issue and then visit DripbyDrip.org to be part of the much needed advocacy for clean water in fashion's wake.
