How can we all play a part in changing our ‘fast fashion’ culture? The fashion industry accounts for around 10% of global carbon emissions and a huge amount of pollution and waste. Sustainable fashion means change across the system: from how makers source and produce materials through to how we all consume and value clothing. Designers and collectives across the UK are finding local solutions to a global problem and putting communities at the centre of the effort towards sustainable fashion. To mark Fashion Revolution Week and as part of their Fashion Open Studios programme, fashion designer Patrick Grant and local movement builder Zero Waste Leeds join the RSA to discuss how we can care for our planet by caring for our clothes. How can we produce and use clothes better, for the benefit of makers, wearers, and the environment? They explore the potential for UK production to boost local economies, provide good quality work, and create great clothing that people can love, look after, and keep in use for longer. #RSAfashion Follow the RSA on Twitter: https://twitter.com/RSAEvents Like RSA Events on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rsaeventsofficial Listen to RSA Events podcasts: https://bit.ly/35EyQYU See RSA Events behind the scenes: https://instagram.com/rsa_events/

You may have heard of circular design for fashion, but what does that mean? As part of the launch for our Circular Design for Fashion book, we heard from four people in the fashion industry about what it means to them and how it links to their work.

As Canadian forests burn out of control, clouds of hazardous smoke shift with the wind, affecting first Northeastern and then Midwestern parts of the United States. The #AirQuality varies, but the tiny particles that it contains pose serious health risks to the lungs, heart and even the brain. Climate Change is making the weather unpredictable. Canadian trees, hit by an ice storm in April, lost branches which then provided ready tinder for fire. Drought made it worse. At least 17 million tons of CO2 have been released by the #Wildfires so far. Paul Beckwith and Patrick Hogan explain why the air quality created by smoke is a serious problem, that is likely to affect more forests as the atmosphere continues to heat. As the smoke hit Washington DC, legislators had a taste of the effects of the climate crisis, something akin to what happened in the 1930s #Dustbowl. As grit came into their chamber, the legislature took action then. But will this event move the dial at all?

Consumer sentiment began to trend away from disposable packaging — particularly single-use plastics — over the past few years, as images of waterways choked in waste circulated in the media. Then came the novel coronavirus, and with it a resurgence in single-use systems. Knowing the coronavirus can survive on surfaces, many assume single-use items are inherently safer than reusable alternatives, but are they really? For Plastic-Free July, we’ll take a closer look at a circular model that ensures health and hygiene while providing an alternative to single-use. On July 22 at 2 p.m. ET, 3BL Media will join Anthony Rossi, vice president of global business development for the reusable packaging platform Loop, and Patrick Browne, director of global sustainability for Loop’s logistics partner, UPS. We’ll talk about what’s new with Loop, often dubbed the “21st-century milkman,” in the time of COVID-19 and explore how circular systems like these can change mindsets and avoid a backslide on plastic waste generation.

On June 21, 2017, on the summer solstice & National Aboriginal Day (Canada), Turtle Lodge Elders, four youth torch runners, four water carriers & the drum group Red Shadow Singers from the Original Nations of this land lit a sacred fire at the sacred site of Manitou Api in the centre of the continent. The flame was brought to Winnipeg and the Centennial Flame lit by Elder Dave Courchene, where it will burn in front of the Manitoba Legislative Building for one year, to help inspire the province and the nation. The 2017 Canada Games torch run commenced with this sacred flame in Manitoba, and the sacred fire was brought Friday to light the 2017 Canada Games cauldron. Video created by Patrick Roberge, PRP Inc., for the Canada Games. Acknowledgements to the Elders for their vision & to Barry Mathers for all his hard work in working with the Canada Games & the Turtle Lodge to make this happen.
