GREENWASHING FAST FASHION Shein, which is one of the world's biggest online retailers, has been slapped with a $1.7 million Greenwashing fine for misleading customers on how environmentally friendly its products are. Shein, famous for it's ultra-cheap, trendy clothing, drops more than 9000 new products on its website each day and rakes in about $38 billion a year. But how good is all this fast-fashion for the environment? Well, according to Italy's competition authority or the AGCM, not good. See, it's just fined Shien about $1.7 Million dollars for greenwashing. That's basically when a product or a company is made to appear more environmentally friendly than it actually is. The AGCM reckons Shein hasn't been completely upfront or honest about its environmental impact and has been misleading customers with things like, claiming certain clothing lines were more sustainable than they actually were, that some items were fully recyclable when they weren't, and have also been vague about their commitment to reduce carbon emissions. The AGCM says this a big problem because it means customers aren't being told the real environmental cost before they buy. So in response, Shein has said they've improved their website to make sure their environmental claims are clearer and easy to understand. NSW WEATHER Parts of NSW have been hit with wild weather this week, and emergency and flood warnings are still in place for parts of the state. Residents in the state's Upper Hunter region, Northern Tablelands and Mid North Coast have experienced everything from snow, to winds, and heavy rain. The storms have impacted trees and powerlines and as a result, left thousands of people without electricity. The weather has also damaged buildings, including a school in Kempsey, where students were disrupted from sitting their HSC trials because their roof was left looking like this! PLASTICS TREATY A big meeting is happening in Switzerland where representatives from 179 countries are trying to agree on a global treaty to stop plastic pollution. Yep, plastics are a big problem for our environment. And while they might not seem like a big deal since most of us use plastic's everyday, experts say we're using and throwing out way too much of it. In fact, the world pumps out over 350 million tonnes of plastic waste each year, and that number is predicted to triple by 2060! It's why representatives from around the world are coming together to finish making a global treaty to control plastic waste. During the 10 day meeting, they'll talk about ways plastic's can be designed to be used for longer, what substitutes are out there and how to stop plastic's from ending up in the environment. It's something these environmentalists hope the UN figure out soon before it's too late. ALLIGATOR IN POOL First up, to a little situation in the US. Yeah, that's an alligator! This sheriff's deputy in Florida managed to wrangle the gator with his bare hands, and cool as a cucumber, took it out to his cop car, to be relocated. SPAIN HEATWAVE Now to a water park for dogs, in Spain. As the country sweats through its second heatwave of the summer, people and their pets have been looking for ways to keep cool. In some areas, temperatures have reached 42 degrees! VOLCANO ERUPTS And finally to a huge volcano erupting in Russia, sending ash 6 kilometres into the sky. The Krasheninnikov volcano hasn't erupted in hundreds of years, some records say 600, others closer to 500. Either way, it's been a long time. Experts reckon it's connected to last week's 8.8 magnitude earthquake in the region.
