โ€œOur closets impact the planet and climate more than you might realise, which is why I am proud to partner with @thredUP to launch their new Fashion Footprint Calculator. They created an easy to use tool, and Iโ€™m so excited to help people discover the carbon impact of their wardrobes, and steps you can take to lighten your fashion footprint,โ€ Emma said in an Instagram post announcing the launch.

โ€œTheyโ€™ll tell you what your fashion footprint is equivalent to a number of flights, exactly how many pounds of CO2 it produces and how you fare compared to an average consumer,โ€ she continued.

But thatโ€™s not all, once youโ€™ve completed the quiz, the ThredUP Fashion Footprint Calculator also makes fashion-centric recommendations s as to what you can do to shrink your carbon footprint.

โ€œSmall changes, such as thrifting instead of buying new, supporting sustainable brands, and air-drying your clothes, can make a HUGE difference,โ€ explained Emma.
