Fashion and Climate Change
It's no mystery that the fashion industry is a problematic source of waste and pollution in the world, but how exactly has that been contributing to global warming and climate change? According to McKinsey research, in 2018, the fashion industry was responsible for creating 2.1 billion metric tons of greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions, which accounted for roughly 4% of the global total. To put that into perspective, that's more than the carbon output of France, Germany, and the United Kingdom combined. With such a noticeable carbon footprint, then it's obvious to understand how the fashion industry has had a detrimental growing effect on the global warming and climate change.
Although global warming has not been uniform across the world, the general upward trend in the globally averaged temperature shows that more areas are warming than cooling. According to NOAA's 2020 Annual Climate Report, the combined land and ocean temperature has increased at an average rate of 0.08°C / 0.13°F per decade since 1880; however, the average rate of increase since 1981 (0.18°C / 0.32°F) has been more than twice that rate.
Despite plans laid out to reduce emissions generated by the fashion industry, it is still on pace to exceed the 1.5-degree pathway to mitigate climate change set out by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and ratified in the 2015 Paris agreement. This is a worrisome trajectory and in order for meaningful change to occur, reducing waste in the production cycle is one of the primary areas that need drastic improvement.
And that's exactly what we do at AGA NATURE when it comes to fashion production and natural dyeing. We're mindful of every step in the production process to make sure that we're always holding ourselves accountable to our goals, which is:
1. Producing the least amount of waste possible in all areas of the production cycle while sourcing natural resources that are in abundance
2. Using only natural dyes that are not only eco-friendly in the way it’s made, but accommodating to anyone and everyone
There's a reason why the tide has been shifting from "fast fashion" to "slow fashion" and here's how we're doing our part for that necessary shift:
