Greetings from Porto, whose lanes are lined with colorful textiles
Linen scarves, cotton aprons and dishtowels adorn the entrances to souvenir shops, many of which are run by Bangladeshis whose home country shares Portugal's rich tradition of textile manufacturing.
Contrary to popular belief, the vibrant textiles of Porto may not be as sustainable as they seem. Could this citys textile industry be contributing more to environmental degradation than its cultural allure suggests?
This is quite thought-provoking.
