Le Grand Livre du Climat - sous la direction de @GretaThunberg : le fil de lecture 🧶📖

J'ouvre ce thread de ma lecture de la traduction française de ce recueil d'articles consacrés au #réchauffementclimatique et ses enjeux, édité par les éditions Kero | Calmann-Lévy. (1/n) Le Grand Livre du Climat - ...
Tout d'abord, quelques mots sur le travail de @GretaThunberg sur ce livre. Il ne s'agit pas de sa seule plume, la jeune militante a souhaité constitué un recueil de textes scientifiques couvrant les plus larges thématiques possibles associées au #climat et ses conséquences (2/n)
Greta Thunberg a donc écrit différentes préfaces, au livre comme à ses sections, ainsi qu'une postface concluant l'ouvrage. En lisant sa plume, sommes loin des préjugés médiatiques et punchlines des réseaux sociaux. Le ton est nuancé, les propos renseignés. (3/n)

Here's what Declan, our content and social media wizard, had to say about one year of shopping #secondhand fashion... ♻️👕

Hey! 👋 Here's a thread 🧵 on the things I learnt about shopping only #preloved fashion for a year!
1. Patience is Key 🗝

I've always been curious about owning a pair of Doc Martens but I could never justify splashing out on a new pair. So I kept an eye on second hand pairs on eBay. There were loads to bid on but also loads of other bidders.
Either way I stuck to my guns and didn't go above £55. Long story short, I snapped up a pair for £50 plus postage. They were sold as having a small scuff on them. But when they arrived I could barely see the scuff and the shoes were otherwise nearly new. #drmartens

🇨🇱 Images from the Atacama desert, which has become a dumpster for the global fast fashion industry. Over 100,000 tons of clothing, many of them new items with price tags that weren't sold or used, have been dumped in the Atacama desert in Chile. Image
The fast-fashion concept, the mass-production of cheap and disposable clothing, has made the fashion industry one of the most polluting industries worldwide, just after oil and agriculture. ImageImage
When combining CO2 emissions from clothing production & the massive clothes waste, fashion production accounts for 10% of humanity's carbon emissions.

Las cartas de la industria #textil ya están sobre la mesa @euratex_eu. Nunca fue tan claro el #fastfashion, aunque ahora algunos se desmarquen. En los próximos meses/años podríamos ver:
1. Producción masiva en Europa o norte de Africa
... sigo hilo
modaes.es/entorno/albert…
2. La #industria #textil puede aguantar un mal año
3. La recuperación optima será con menos volumen y más valor
4. Ya no se verán precios muy bajos en los #textiles
5. #globalización, #sostenibilidad y #digitalización es el nuevo padadigma
... sigo hilo
6. Aprovisionarse en Asia y decir que se es #sostenible es hacerse trampas al solitario
7. Si la #fibra textil #reciclada adquiere la escala deseada, podría ser incluso más barata que la original
8. La #industria quiere parte de los fondos #NextGenerationEU
... sigo hilo

I am grateful for the support of a cross party group of MPs who’ve joined me in writing to the Prime Minister calling for urgent action to end worker exploitation in parts of Leicester’s Garment Industry

Billionaires wealth is built on the exploitation of workers

#FastFasion ImageImage
Holding back tears constituents have bravely shared their experiences of worker exploitation describing how their bosses seek to avoid detection by making their factories appear closed whilst workers’ file through back entrances; fraudulent payslips disguising actual hours worked
Unwell workers are told to keep their symptoms secret; workers are denied holiday pay & sick pay; required to make their own personal protective equipment or do without. When inspectors arrive they’re ushered out the back. This is a microcosm of the global exploitation of workers

Good to see so much reporting on #fastfashion production in #leicester including investigative reporting - undercover Sunday times journalist who was hired in factory on Thursday. This moment has been a long time coming..../1
Former MP for Wakefield @MaryCreaghMP led an Environmental Audit Committee investigation into #fastfashion two years ago. I was one of the experts who gave evidence. Her subsequent report #fixingfashion is worth a read. Every recommendation was rejected by the government /2
Meanwhile @boohoo sent a resounding ‘fuck off’ in the form of refusing to appear or answer questions. clear that we now had a UK brand/retailer that would not be answerable. Report rejection gave green light to go for it, increase profits with no checks & balances. /3

“Quality has drastically declined at well-known brands, too. A pair of Levi’s at what I consider an extremely high price point of 100 euros will only last two or three years now.” thecorrespondent.com/416/fashion-un… #fashion #fastfashion
"Based on studies she’s supervised in the field, Easter has found that fabrics have become thinner."
"Interestingly, the $9.95 pair of jeans outperformed the $129 pair on several levels. For example, the two most expensive pairs – by Lucky Brand and Gap – turned out to be the least colourfast, they shed, and scored lowest on fabric and seam strength."
