What is Earth Month?
Earth Month, observed in April, is a global initiative dedicated to raising awareness about environmental issues and promoting sustainability. Earth Month emerged from the Earth Day movement, which began in 1970.
Throughout Earth Month, various events and activities are organized worldwide, including clean-up campaigns, tree planting initiatives, educational programs, and advocacy efforts. The goal is to inspire individuals, communities, organizations, and governments to take action to protect the planet and its resources, fostering a deeper commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainable living practices.
What is sustainable fashion?
Sustainable fashion refers to clothing, footwear, and/or accessories that are produced, marketed, and used in ways that are environmentally friendly, socially responsible, and economically viable throughout their lifecycle. It encompasses a variety of practices aimed at reducing the environmental and social impacts of the fashion industry, which is known for its significant resource consumption, pollution, and labor issues.
Sustainable clothing is beneficial for the Earth because it reduces environmental impact through practices like using eco-friendly materials, minimizing resource consumption, and promoting ethical production processes. It conserves natural resources, mitigates pollution, protects biodiversity, mitigates climate change, and raises awareness about environmental issues among consumers.
Simply, sustainable clothing helps to preserve the Earth's ecosystems and supports a more sustainable and responsible fashion industry.
