FRANCE 24 Environment – The color of your clothes: Dipping into dyes and showing your clothes true colours

ENVIRONMENT – The color of your clothes: This week were dipping into dyes and showing you your clothes true colours. We bring you to cowboy city in China where Pearl River has turned a worrying shade of deep blue: a run off from the jeans factories along its banks. Before crossing to India where you’ll see that cotton fields are poisoning farmers who are forced to pick an uncertain future. Finally well be looking at whether or not you should take the clothes of your back, travelling miles, soaking up water and other energy resources…what we wear, really can have an environmental impact.
