THE FUTURE OF DENIM PART #1: HOW THE HUMBLE JEAN IS REDEFINING SUSTAINBLE STYLE We love our denim, so much so that the average consumer buys four pairs of jeans a year. In China's Xintang province, a hub for denim, 300 million pairs are made annually. Just as staggering is the brew of toxic chemicals and hundreds of gallons of water it takes to dye and finish one pair of jeans. The resulting environmental damage to rivers, ecosystems and communities in China, Bangladesh and India is the subject of a documentary called  The RiverBlue: Can Fashion Save the Planet?  The question as to #WhoMadeMyClothes has now entered mainstream conversation and few items of clothing are more mainstream than a good old pair of blue jeans, right? Whether it’s mass produced cotton, water pollution, excessive consumption of water, denim sandblasting and dyeing or poor working conditions, the wholesome image of the denim jean has masked their negative impact on the environment.

© Fashion Revolution The role of unions, freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining “The right to organise with others to fight for better working conditions is a universal human right: Everyone has the right to form and to join trade unions for the protection of his/her interests.” This is a fundamental condition set out by the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights in Article 23.4. [1] According to the International Labor Organization (ILO), the right of workers and employers to form and join organisations of their own choosing is an integral part of a free and open society. Freedom of association means that any person is free to join with other people, for example, as a trade union, to defend their rights. Freedom of association is a fundamental human right enshrined in the constitutions and laws of many countries all over the world. [2] The ILO plays an important role globally in promoting and upholding workers’ right to freely...

Photo –  Wikipedia ; Lic. – Public domain Science once again catching up with what many already knew – but this is progress:  A new scientific study has investigated the toxicity of various drugs and found Marijuana the clear winner. It’s been found significantly less toxic than all the other substances on the list – including not only illegal drugs but the LEGAL alcohol and tobacco. Here’s our full report. Claims on  marijuana’s medicinal values  have been widely debated despite support from medical research and study. Federal legislation that govern marijuana use aim to restrict rather than regulate – and this has posed a problem to people seeking the medicinal and recreational effects of the herb, very far from intentions of abusing it...

Today is #WORLDOCEANSDAY, and we want to talk about clothing #microfibrepollution www.instagram.com/gabidezin  In 2017, the  Ellen Macarthur Foundation’s report,  “A New Textiles Economy” cited the International Union for Conservation of Nature revealing that washing our clothing releases around half a million tonnes of microfibre plastic into the ocean on an annual basis. This figure is 16 times higher than the damage done by microfibres in cosmetic products. In the UK, our Environmental Audit Committee uncovered the damage done by microbeads in beauty products and successfully banned the sale of these in 2018. Now, we need our legislators to take action on the clothing problem, and for brands to seriously address the consequences of plastic clothing. This year’s World Oceans Day campaign is hooked on the message that #TogetherWeCan, so let’s use our voices to demand change. You can watch a  video by the Story of Stuff  to learn more about the issue, a...

Brands must make their packaging sustainable to attract the loyalty of Gen Z shoppers By  Chase Buckle , trends manager, GlobalWebIndex 25 April 2019 Save article Source: Unsplash As protests such as Extinction Rebellion have shown us, scrutiny of sustainable corporate practices is intense among young people. This is reflected in their purchase choices It seems every week brands are coming up with new means to boost their sustainability image. Just this week,  Adidas  has made a running shoe that you can return to be fully recycled into a new shoe. The recent spate of brands investing in more sustainable packaging solutions is an interesting reflection on how powerful sustainability has become as a means to build brand loyalty, but also how thorough the brand approach must be for this to be authentic. As the youth climate protests and the Extinction Rebellion have shown us, nowhere is consumer scrutiny towards s...
