morrow today, ah, in 60 minutes on d w. ah, what people have to say matters to us. i am. that's why we listened to their stories. reporter every weekend upon d. w. ah, ah, welcome to global 3000 refuge from global warming. why duluth, in the north of the usa, is considered a climate haven giving a new life to surplus fabric. a startup in thailand, it's bringing sustainable solutions to the clothing industry. but 1st,

we look at how responsible close production is still the exception to the rule. that chinese fashion giant she in over production and surplus stock are part and parcel of the system. if you've ever done any word or tick tock lately, probably seen a lot of that. ya to see, i buy, let's open it and it's really heavy. oh, welcome to the world. i was like, i don't think it's shiny. she in is how i tend to pronounce it. she and isn't just foutz fashion, it's ultrafast. you can get dresses for 5 euros bags for 6 courses for 3. if you want a nose ring for $0.75, this is your jam. jonesy has pretty much gone bananas, hope company, which exists entirely more or less from social media, has no physical stores. and his operations are more or less a big lock box. we took a dive into this vast fashion phenomenon and what about for the environment in an

air of growing climate consciousness? how is this even happening? honestly i didn't even know that she and until during the story then again, i'm a millennial and the stock is from 2 of them to so i went to the center of ruin to see if shoppers there knew better than i did you know what? oh, yes, of course it's a big online fishing sto, shop that much more sometimes. yeah, there's nice stuff. it's cheap. nice fabric. i think of, of the ones i wanted spirits and everything is all really any point when you pay like 20 years. she and targets mostly young women. it adds thousands of things to its inventory every day. at any one time, it has as many as 600000 products. with a typical price tag between $8.00 and $30.00, it stuff can be half as cheap as other fast fashion giants. and what is different

is that explosion as young people with phones they've helped with product discovery . this is richard a co dolly, an expert on all things, e commerce and parent of to jonesy girls. but she is also from my understanding here quite a bit from marketing it's social media strategies, centers around getting celebrities and influence for us to market the brand on social media. katie perry, little nasdaq's, rita or a storm breed. and yar shahida have all gotten on the she in train, please don't forget to buy more shoes and together t shirt a thought for tuning into the she and together. but the biggest part of it's online presence has to do with the hall on tick tock. users post reels that show of what they ordered and what they got. a lot of these posts go viral, crating marketing campaign that basically runs itself. i thought $2000.00 a month with it. okay. looks pretty good. i see of this very addictive algorithm.

influencers and young women. maxine beta is the go to expert on the fashion and garment industry. it's a very like impressionable age where they want to fit in, in clothing companies have utilized that insecurity to, to drive a lot of sales, but never to the extreme that we're now seeing the she and hashtag on tick tock has 17000000000 views. it's instagram account has over 22000000 followers. this year it was the number one shopping up in 56 countries. if reportedly made $10000000000.00 and revenue last year, which means it's catching of fast giants like h an m and sarah. she and has dominated fast fashion in the west, but it's headquarters, they're half way across the globe and quanto china. and what happens there? well, nobody really knows. they're very secret it, they don't talk to anybody. so it's very hard to know exactly what they're doing. usually fast fashion companies take a month to get an item from designed to store, but analysts say she and cuts that time to as little as a week. it uses powerful algorithms to predict trends and sometimes doesn't even

start manufacturing until the order is placed at the there is no magic, right. the only way that you get very cheap product is by not paying workers an flouting any environmental standards. they have to a high, a lot of temporary walkers and they have to have contracts. it's to either a small factories and house workshops who pay is $1.00 of the only journalists who went to sions, production sites and gone jo to investigator labor practices. she found a desperate lab of crowded workshops under pain people without official contracts. it's not that she has that child labor. she has the abuse d, a workers. the issue is those walkers, they are not in the social welfare system. this means workers have no rights or guarantees the demand for cheaper faster clothing means that we just need history, have to be low to remain competitive. it's not only abolish shane, but it's

a more social is seuss, prevail in the whole society. and as it turns out, the company's been making headlines for the secrecy, the fashion transparency index, which rates companies on how open they are about their supply chains, listed she and at the bottom of its rankings. and what about the actual close? if it's too good to be true, then it probably is, you cannot have a business model like that and operate in any way with respect to the planet or it's feet or you just can't. plenty of people have taken to social media to protest the shoddy quality of its clothes. honestly, i thought just the swimsuits are happy trash. i could not be more disappointed. this is a piece of crap. so if a thought disposable it means they're all getting dumped somewhere, almost a $100000000.00 tons of textiles and up and landfills every year. that's 500 ever given ships. remember the thing that got stuck in the suez canal, most of it goes to the global south,

where local suffer the environmental consequences. and did you know that the fashion industry is responsible for 8 to 10 percent of greenhouse gas emissions? the garment industry is so unregulated that it's hard to say just how much is contributing to climate change. all we can say is that she in is accelerating it like never before. to very energy intensive process to create textiles. this production is happening in places like principally china with a cold, but you know, continues to have a cold based energy grid. but in all things, it is slowing down anytime soon. the average consumer today by 60 percent more than they did and 2000 brands are now throwing w collections on. and she and takes this to a whole new level. it taps into the insatiable consumers and that's shaped our world, the need to possess things. and when we're sick of them to simply throw them away, i asked him young shoppers whether they thought about climate change. this is not really i just quiet and where it, when it suits the weather from jerusalem. on my know,

honestly rarely know. i carry a really look, i pay good needs and from the original products, what about nothing changed it why not? low budget. so we're pretty low on the funds, but i'm going to get a real job one to be more with like, why would i pay more when i can have something else? for less girls got a point. not everyone can afford to think about sustainability. the rise of she and might be breaking a meth we have about the next generations climate commitment. it is a very tall order to ask young people to do the right thing when the messaging is so intense to do something different. when you actually look at the data, you know, kids like 18 or 24 or more environmentally conscious and savvy,

but it's actually lower than people who are like 25 to 35. and it's not just kids. i can't just blame kids. i think legislators will step up and make the, the rules necessary, but that takes people's participation. i've seen humans have a capacity to really put their heads in the sand. how do you bring those people in, in a way that's actually engaging in non genuine firm? fortuna. market in downtown bangkok most a seemingly infinite range of shirts, pants and dresses for shoppers to choose from. like elsewhere in the world. the production of each item on sale here creates excess fabric. and this often ends up in the trash. appalled by the needless waste, one young entrepreneur decided to turn surplus material from a problem into a solution. this episode of global ideas looks at her sustainable fashion business

bags full of fabric that are like new but surplus too little to create a new collection. but too valuable to shred. the store room of tama one village ions garment factory is jam packed with them. over production is just part of the business model. every car, let me order defact me for each particular order. we have to all ways on an expired presentation just to be sure that we have enough fact me if the defect happen, or if buyer nice i to chance i'm quantity off eyes, then the we have enough to color to whole quantity. the young entrepreneur can't do much to change that still for years, she looked for ways to solve her surplus fabric problem. then, 5 years ago, friends introduced her to financial manager. aman paule, who won on a man with

a mission. i wanted to make a change in terms of waste management and given that leah into digital ish, i think the best way to now manage to list and make it into a scalable business is through the internet. in 2018 in bangkok they founded more loop and online platform for fabric remnants of symbol yet clever concept. we like the abby and b fossa fabric. so these quad here fabri, we would sauce them from different warehouses and then they would give us the data off death at b and a sample. and then we basically put these on to the internet so that people can come and browse and shop online. but the business got off to a rocky start. few believed anyone could produce quality fashions from fabric

remnants. after 4 months, the founders were ready to throw in the towel. but then they had the bright idea of creating their own collection. when they put deals into the t shirt, and it's easier to daniel to have a sense of quality than to ragland a passive. they showed off their t shirts at a trade show and sold out in just 2 days from then on. things went quickly at 1st, just 5 factories sold their surplus fabric to more loop. now, more than 70 textile producers and to remnants into the database, the selection is large enough to attract corporate clients. more luke now produces tailor made products for $150.00 companies. like insurance firms, allianz. oh wow. i think it makes sense. instead of producing the new fabric, why don't we just use whatever that already available?

and, and, and, and that's good because i, it means that i, you also help all the factory are in the country aswell. pilot, she's ordered, 18000 polo shirts, masks and baseball caps all with the same design. that's a big challenge for the start up. oh, we have to make and match with many on different type, the different test on fat, big. because the quantity in to be an one left off of me could affect the quantity yet major clients overlooked these little differences to show their green credit. as an additional service, more loop calculates how much c o 2 they've saved, depending on the color we've and production method of the chosen material. leshaw technical is within 2024. we would like to prevent,

ah $1000000.00 hello off on c o 2 emission. to our process right now we have done about 50 percent in the past few years. so we haven't had a 50 percent to go from here. but it's not just big companies who make purchases over more loop. so does young designer t i. e dot own blue runner, won all the bags and clothes the batik artist creates for her label. mariam are one of a kind she adapt sir ideas to the materials. not the other way around. herman termite. done by him and got to how may i the lab arctic is a technique that allows the wax to see pin to the fabric. hm. so if the fabric is too thick, then it will be hard to draw on the fabric with wax picnic basket. so that's the limitation of batter godaddy, and then i have to take a sample of the fabric to test out. it's a technique will work or not. why that kid, i mean the same id, i more loops. founders only realized these special needs after pain,

the artist of visit. they're keen to cooperate with designers like tie on baran or one, so that they can present her pieces at international fashion chose. and for the designer, the idea of up cycling is a big plus. my saying they can make on her or not my pin gap can oh, it's more like giving new life to unused fabric life and why so it doesn't feel like secondhand fabrics appointment. and the customer's feel, the same lesson can see that when can it's just re purposing and giving more value to the fabric one that the can time will a hassle pama glass. lisa. hi lisa, it's a win win situation. to date, more loop has saved some 500 tons of carbon dioxide. the equivalent of the c o 2 emitted during 5000000 kilometers of car travel. but that's still not enough to

satisfy its founders. you want to be to pop off the global transition to a circular economy. we want to pay that part and we want to be part of making this new equilibrium a reality. there are long term goal is to keep growing and get 500 textile firms putting fabric into the more loop. and they plan to offer more of their own products along with t shirts. masks and p p. yeah. from wild fires to devastating storms flood in droughts. in 2020 alone, natural disasters displaced over 30000000 people and things are about to get worse. according to world bank projections through 2050 climate change could mean 216000000 people are forced to leave their homes. they also warn that hotspots of internal migration are bound to emerge unless concerted and immediate

action is taken to tackle global emissions. it's not just africa and southeast asia that will be seeing more and more people being forced out of their homes. but not everyone has the financial means to start new lives elsewhere. in the united states, a privileged minority is opting to move further north for the sake of their children, a trend that is creating problems of its own. 18 months ago, jamie made the decision to move her family over 3000 kilometers from california to the northern state of minnesota. she says she had no choice. it was either leave now or threatened her children's future. jamie is a u. s. climate migrant there as the 2018 really devastating wildfire called the camp fire that killed i think almost a 100 people and destroyed thousands of buildings and our air quality across the bay area was lake through, you know,

hazardous quality couldn't leave the house for 2 weeks schools were canceled, people's fire alarms were going off inside their houses because of how smoky it was my own family had health impacts from it. the family now lived in duluth almost at the border with canada. jamie, herself works as a director of the climate organization and was very aware that there would be a point when they didn't feel safe in san francisco. even i, who am very, you know, climate alarmed, i would say, even i was surprised that how quickly things unfolded and how quickly it felt like moving was, was the best option for us. a scientist has mapped out the places that would be most honorable to the time of crisis. this is what brings the story back to duluth. ah, this small cities not only was created, but it also sits on the western edge of lake superior. these factors make duluth

a magnet for climate migrants from across the us. ah, the ones who have actually come here and moved or invested have been north carolina, california, and utah is another couple that i'm working with right now. realtor, a long time. resident karen pago, girl, and says she seen a growing trend of people calling her looking for a house in duluth. but one thing is clear, simon. migration is a choice only affordable to the wealthiest and piety. dylan white, newsome is a climate jestus advocate whose work focuses on the inequality within the climate crisis. though this is the reality when you don't have the means or the resources or a family member to stay with. if your home is disrupted by flooding or wow,

or any extreme weather event that we're going to see again more frequently and more intensely, you're kind of lost the inequality of this trent not only exists and the locations where climate migrants are leaving, but also places where they are arriving in duluth equilibrium 3 works to balance climate solutions with social justice, former science teacher, jody slick founded. it's 10 years ago. so the more people that come to the community, especially on, if they have more wealth that tightens that market for those that are already here . and when we think about things like home ownership, there's huge gaps between our indigenous population and our black population. and we're not going to narrow those gaps. i'm unless we are really proactive. i'm in this, this era of climate migration. one of america's rust belt cities,

duluth was declared almost debt after industrial decline. the mayor is ready to seize the opportunity of more people coming to duluth, but except there will be challenges. i think the danger is in 2 things. one is to ignore it and not be planned full about it because whether or not i like it, whether or not it's comfortable, it's happening. and so we want to be planned full about that and to make sure that as the city we are responding to that, i think it would be dangerous to ignore it or to pretend it's not happening. i also think it would be dangerous to not pay attention now to the needs that are already here and to just chase that growth. the city is home to a deep rooted community that is mostly proud to live there. they welcome new people but also have mixed feelings when it comes to climate migration. certainly later

they were the right people. really hard to find a house right now. i know there's a lot of people moving from out of state to minnesota, so i can see if the scientists are pushing them here. be an easy thing for them to want to do. but i think that's minnesotans are definitely noticing that with higher prices on thing. i mean, i would, if i was in a place where i felt it wasn't more power to adding to the social challenges and other question rises when talking about climate migration, can there be a place that is safe from climate change sciences clear that the effect of lower warming will be felt everywhere, something that jamie alexander and her family have experienced firsthand. our 1st summer. here we had wildfires that minnesota has never seen before in the superior national forest that created 400 acres. you know, hazardous air quality for us here. never had northern minnesota seen anything like

that. how foolish of us to think that we could run away from it. i worry that, that this climate migration conversation of which i am a part could lead us to be complacent as we're working to keep ourselves safe and our families and communities. if we also need to be addressing what is causing it to lose not immune from the changing climate, but it could be a blueprint for us communities preparing for a future dominated by climate migration. ah, our global snack this week is from the cape where the islands the island of saul is one of the most popular tourist destinations in a cape, verda, and archipelago country. off the coast of west africa at cape fruit there cooking up a twist on cape fair. does national dish has shoop up like it's never been done before
