A very exciting event was announced a few days ago; Overheated, which is an event over multiple days coinciding with dates of Billie Eilish’s tour. Bringing together climate activists, musicians and designers to discuss how they can work to make a difference and fight the climate crisis.

Featuring activists such as Tori Tsui and Dominique Palmer, Vanessa Nkate who have been major parts of the climate movement, it is a very exciting event for climate activism.

It is so important that events like this can happen, where people with large audiences like Billie Eilish, can give space and a platform for activists to share their knowledge and collaborate with other worlds. It is set to involve discussion about sustainable fashion, plant based diets and greening practices in the music industry. There will also be a showing of the Overheated Documentary, featuring Billie Eilish and Vivenne Westwood. Not to forget, there will be music too, with performances from Sigrid and Love Ssega, and a appearance from others such as Jack Harries and Yungblud. 

The music and fashion industry are a big part of harm and destruction caused within the climate crisis. For example, the fashion industry prioritises profit over people, both in fast fashion and luxury fashion. Using unsustainable practices which are causing destruction to our planet, while exploiting garment workers particularly in the Global South (Fashions Brands' Commercial Practices Are Misaligned with Sustainability (remake.world. )

To see this big event being hosted and presented by such famous artists, gives me so much hope that we can work together to stop this destruction to our planet. This is what we need, not greenwashing from fashion brands, but actual collaboration.
