Book excerpt: The make-take-waste paradigm of fast fashion explains much of the producer and consumer behavior patterns towards fast fashion. The evolution from a two-season fashion calendar to fast fashion, characterized by rapid product cycles from retailers and impulse buying by consumers, presents new challenges to the environment, workplace and labour practices. This book provides a comprehensive overview of new insights into consumer behaviour mechanisms in order to shift practices toward sustainable fashion and to minimize the negative impacts of fast fashion on the environment and society. Concepts and techniques are presented that could overcome the formidable economic drivers of fast fashion and lead toward a future of sustainable fashion. While the need for change in the fashion industry post-Rana Plaza could not be more obvious, alternative and more sustainable consumption models have been under-investigated. The paucity of such research extends to highly consumptive consumer behaviours regarding fast fashion (i.e. impulse buying and throwaways) and the related impediments these behaviours pose for sustainable fashion. Written by leading researchers in the field of sustainable fashion and supported by the Textile Institute, this book evaluates fashion trends, what factors have led to new trends and how the factors supporting fast fashion differ from those of the past. It explores the economic drivers of fast fashion and what social, environmental and political factors should be maintained, and business approaches adopted, in order for fast fashion to be a sustainable model. In particular, it provides consumer behaviour concepts that can be utilized at the retail level to support sustainable fashion.

With concrete advice, tips on motivating family members to embrace change, and shared activities, this book helps the whole family get on board, so that parents and kids can all live by eco-example.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second edition of Sustainable Business prepares future business leaders to tackle the most crucial social and environmental issues of our time. This engaging textbook provides students with a comprehensive, balanced introduction to integrating sustainable business policies into all core business functions and processes. The text employs a qualitative-based learning process to help students understand how leadership, finance, accounting, risk management, marketing, supply chain management, and operations can be adapted to meet the sustainability goals of the 21st century. Looking at sustainable business from the managerial viewpoint, the fully-updated new edition explains how and why business is evolving due to increased consumer and regulatory pressure for sustainable performance. Business topics are first introduced in the same manner as traditional MBA programs, and then examined through the lens of sustainably. The text incorporates real-life examples of social and environmental leadership to demonstrate the efficacy of good sustainable business decisions, and illustrates the negative ramifications of outdated, purely economic-driven managerial decision-making. Influential concepts based on interdisciplinary research in sustainability are discussed in detail, and practical insights address how to turn policy into practice in the workplace.

The journey begins with a few small steps. Is the damage we’re doing to our planet literally leaving you sick, sore, and gasping for air? Want to take back our inalienable rights to clean air, clean water, and healthy food? In this quietly revolutionary book, environmental pioneer and founder of Greenopia, Gay Browne, shares a roadmap for making incremental changes that will not only transform your life, but heal the world we share. From the home to the office, from the foods we eat to the clothes we wear, here are actions you can take today that will improve your Personal Environmental Health, and help you stop feeling overwhelmed, reduce illness, improve sleep, mood, and focus, and start making a difference, including: *Make conscious choices when shopping, and support companies with good environmental stewardship and healthy products. *Test your water for harmful chemicals, install an affordable water filtration system, and reduce your water use by utilizing water more efficiently. *Work with your doctor to create a personal plan for detoxing your body. *Use only non-toxic and organic household products, and choose organic, eco-friendly fabrics made by sustainable and fair trade certified companies. *Choose the method of transportation that makes the lightest carbon footprint. With these and many other actions, Gay Browne’s work has taught her that even the smallest change for the better, faithfully practiced, can have an immense positive impact on our minds, bodies, and spirits—not to mention the planet.

Book excerpt: Every other day we read new about a fossil recently found that shows us the traces of our ancestors. We, being humans and creatures of this world have always left traces of us behind. But traces of this and previous century are not what we should leave for our future generations. Because this plastic waste these holes in ozone will endanger the lives of people and there will be extremely bad consequences. Nonrenewable energy sources are causing pollution around the world and are adding to entropy. Plastic will not degrade for coming thousands of years, and we are basically synthesizing things that is beyond natures ability to decompose easily. All this calls for production of material that does the job and is not harmful for our environment. During the old times, there were no shopping bags. People used to carry cloth bags in old days, now paper bags are their environment friendly replacement, which is not very great idea either since we are cutting down trees for that. This book was written keeping in mind all the troubles caused by using products that are harmful for environment and progress of this world toward creating eco-friendly products was discussed. The idea of creating the products that will protect the environment and make it a better place for current and upcoming generations. One of the main problems of using chemical dyes to color the clothes has made its way towards utilizing the dyes that are natural or digital alternatives. Tanneries are popular for releasing chemicals and metals that are toxic for other living things and we do not even realize how much plastic waste our single shopping trip produces. Fuels produced from renewable sources, plastic bag alternatives and some environmentally friendly items help people save money. Energy-saving appliances minimize energy and utility costs while using fewer natural resources. Currently, most businesses prefer employing eco-friendly resources to make items rather than conventional ones in order to protect the environment. In addition to the fact that global warming has gotten worse since the turn of the century, many businesses have started producing eco-friendly goods. When choosing to manufacture items, some businesspeople find it quite challenging to create a sustainable atmosphere. Because the business will be under pressure to develop new technologies to produce a product that is both dependable and environmentally friendly. This book will give you a ride of the replacements of products harmful for environment and how their better alternatives are helping the environment get back on track.
