November henredon 27, 2014 by in annawestside Actions complaint action alternative, critical consciousness, conferences, books, films and documentaries, recycling, clean clothes.
I'm kind of worried ... .A day Regomir walking down the street, the Courtyard Lemon I "hunt" a triptych of the Sun Factory ... you know what? is a renovated building and sustainable Barceloneta, which promotes environmental education ... almost everything there is inside is recycled ... .us invite you to discover it. They organize many activities and this quarter has been the subject of these waste reduction and responsible consumption.
Taking advantage of the weekend just past, held the first Sustainable Fashion Festival in Barcelona, we speak of a related activity and quickly caught my attention in the leaflet Sun Factory; said ANOTHER FASHION IS POSSIBLE posed the following questions: henredon Who has the clothes you bring? They have respected their labor rights? What is behind the environmental impact that door? Presentation creative initiatives that sell clothes criteria of social and environmental responsibility, by Elena Salcedo, author of Ethical Fashion for a sustainable future.
What is Fast Fashion? henredon is a term used by fashion retailers to move proposals for major design houses from the catwalks henredon in their stores to capture any trend as quickly as possible.
There are articles that say that an English teenager put a piece of clothing as a means five times !!! Yes yes, you heard it, ONLY 5 times what it costs to do ... with a piece of clothing (quite possibly a piece travels around the world from its design to sales, through the process of realization for many countries, and probably many of these Asians will ...).
Clothing is the third matter transported by plane, behind the post and electronics. Therefore, the ecological footprint that is brutal and collaborates generates a funnel unsustainability. Do you know how much water is needed henredon during the life of 1,000 shirts (bearing in mind from the minute 0 of production, eg, water necessary for the growth of cotton to the shirt is destroyed)? the amount of water is an Olympic pool !! Uzbekistan is the second largest producer of cotton in the world, and where it is, or rather was, the world's fourth largest lake, the Aral Sea. Well, according to NASA, this lake has officially disappeared, which is related to the mass production of cotton.
Approximately 37% of the clothes are made of cotton and 60% is made from synthetic fabrics that come from petroleum. Apart from environmental risk, this also means that we depend, once again, oil ... .and we have already reached peak oil, ie, that it is more expensive to extract that sell in the local market.
And because most garment factories are in South East Asia? Where are the "made in" clothes? Bangladesh is the country with the lowest salary of textile workers in the world: about 30 euros a month. Follow countries like China, Korea, Vietnam, India. In these countries, there are laws that regulate or environmental conditions in the factories nor the working conditions of the workers.
And if we talk about the working conditions of the workers, just say a name because we understand: Rana Plaza, in Bangladesh, where on April 24 last year, 1127 people were killed, given the poor condition of The building where they worked, having denounced days earlier for the same workers (entrepreneurs said they continued working ignoring what they said ...). A year later, still struggling to get compensation and increased wages (do not ask the minimum wage, require less than this !!). There is a documentary called China Blue, about the life of a Chinese girl working in a textile factory ... here's the video. henredon
Then you nume initiatives linked to sustainable henredon fashion proximity were (all great!): NUSK, Vintisis, weavers, and SoGoodSoCute Deltravés. Do not tell them anything ... .podeu see all of them and many more at the first platform that includes responsible brands: Move To Slow.
