Detoxing fashion
A young boy is working with his parents at a small jeans workshop in Dadun Village in Xintang, Zengcheng. He earns 0.15 yuan for snipping loose thread ends off one pair of jeans; in one day he can do about 200 pairs. In Xintang, where the economy is centered around textile production, Greenpeace has found high levels of industrial pollution and has documented the effects on the community. ©Guang/Greenpeace
