Make Polluters Pay: The Real Cost of Fast Fashion, Fossil Fuels, and Corporate Pollution

In this episode of The Lexy Show, we dive into Make Polluters Pay, the growing movement demanding accountability from the corporations most responsible for climate damage and environmental pollution.

We break down how the idea of personal responsibility has been pushed onto consumers for decades, while major polluters continue to profit with minimal consequences. From fossil fuel companies to fast fashion giants, this conversation unpacks who is actually driving the climate crisis, how the narrative around individual “carbon footprints” was shaped, and why systemic accountability matters more than ever.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by climate guilt or questioned whether individual lifestyle changes are enough, this episode is for you. We explore what meaningful climate action really looks like, how policy, corporate responsibility, and public pressure intersect, and what it would mean to finally make polluters pay for the damage they’ve caused.
