It can sometimes feel as if the world is hurtling towards self-destruction with daily headlines about the effects of climate change, pollution and overconsumption. It can feel overwhelming to even consider tackling the issue of sustainability.
But we have to try.
The thing about sustainability is that it isn’t just saving the turtles from plastic straws, planting trees, cleaning the beach, or buying eco-friendly products made from alternative materials that are kinder to the environment— it’s about protecting the people that live in it too.
In this month’s issue, Tatler talks to people who are trying to make a difference—each from different walks of life but all with the very same goal: to try to make the world a better place, no matter how cheesy that sounds.

It took one of the deadliest garment industry disasters in history to shed light on the long-running issue of garment workers working in hazardous conditions.
