Can we really influence the textile industry to become more sustainable?

8 Upvotes

I've seen brands like Patagonia and H&M take steps to reduce their water consumption, but it still seems like there's a long way to go. Do you think we, as consumers, have the power to push them to do more, or is it just surface-level progress? Would love to hear what you think!

How Can We Balance Building for the Future with Protecting the Earth’s Resources?

1 Upvotes

When we talk about sustainability, the focus often lands on renewable resources, but how can we make sure the infrastructure we create works symbiotically with the environment, instead of exploiting its limits? What are some ideas or projects that blend development with careful ecological stewardship?

Large-scale solutions often dominate sustainability conversations, but are smaller, community-focused approaches—like integrating food forests or local energy grids—more resilient? Let’s brainstorm on balancing the global and local scales.

Need fun activities which are sustainable

2 Upvotes

What do I do?

So my birthday is coming up very soon, and I'm having a picnic with some friends. I want to do some typical teenage activities, but I'm struggling. I wanted to get some painting supplies to do some craft with my friends and I found a 3pack canvas at Kmart for only $5 (which I can afford, unlike the single $52 sustainable one). I don't buy from kmart as I try to do my best at buying products which are safer for the environment, but now I'm having a hard time trying to figure out what to do. I wouldn't mind getting some materials and making friendship bracelets but then again, it's just unnecessary product. But I want to have fun. Does anyone know any activities I can do with my friends which will still entertain them aswell as being sustainable.

How does sustainability influence your sports equipment buying decisions?

12 Upvotes

It seems like more and more brands are jumping on the eco-friendly bandwagon these days, using better materials and processes to help the planet. But when it comes to sports gear, do you find yourself choosing brands that put a little extra thought into the environment, or is it more about the performance and price for you?
