Gen Z is using fashion on TikTok to combat climate change. YPulse found that 51% of 13-18-year-olds use TikTok to obtain news and information and with climate change still a top priority to young people, it has become a go-to space for talking about and consuming environmental content. Videos about upcycling and designing clothes are just some of the popular sustainable fashion content on the platform. Others are turning to the app—which they actually trust more than traditional news outlets—for more serious educational content, such as the long term effects the fashion industry has on the planet. But amid the drama and uncertainty of TikTok’s future, many teens are worried they could lose their top source for environmental news. (Refinery29)
