Kanpur is the largest city in Uttar Pradesh, India, well known to be a major industrial hub. Its population is about 4 million people. Among other industries like detergent and fertilizer manufactures, 400 tanneries are located near the Ganges river. They are responsible for the most polluted stretch of "Mother Ganga". In the area, chroma and other contaminants are highly used by members of lowest castes and muslims. Behind the smell and the sight of skin wastes being dried before being transformed into animal meal, a social and health disaster is on going, encouraged by our clothing over-consumption.
