Hello, I'm Tina Dehealy.

This is Beyond Today, the space to ask one big question

about one big story. Today can we save our planet and still keep our stuff?

This morning the online fast fashion retailer Boohoo

revealed a 48% rise in their revenues, a clear sign that our appetite for

cheap stuff is as big as ever. Meanwhile climate change activists

extinction rebellion are preparing to march through the heart of London City tomorrow

protesting against what they call a toxic financial system that's built on greed.

I've heard of boop who I know very little about it and I'm always worried about the impact of fast fashion on carbon emissions. It seems such a

negative thing to do. To throw away clothing that's been used once or a couple of times.

It seems absolutely mad to me. This is my fashion statement.

I've got a lovely pair of old jeans with patches on them and these are going to go on being

my favourite genes for a long time.

Well that was Godfrey, one of the Extinction Rebellion protesters in Parliament Square this morning.

Now a lot of us have started to think about our role in all of this and whether

saving the planet is going to require a fundamental change in how we all behave

as consumers not just a few tweaks here and there.

Comedian and podcaster Stevie Martin knows the struggle all too well.

I bought a reusable water bottle, I was obviously really proud of myself and I don't like the

metal ones because it's like you're camping you know the kind of metal I like them but

they're too expensive I'm not paying 20 pounds for a water bottle I paid 35 pounds
