Ok, so based on this chat, I'm left wondering why are architects still using concrete? #dezeenchat Anyone here Team Concrete?

[Dezeen @dezeen]

Does the durability of concrete buildings outweigh the initial environmental impact that comes from using the material? #dezeenchat

[Frankie Entwistle @FranEntwistleNT]

@semihaan @dezeen But timber structures aren't completely harmless to the environment, chemical treatments can't be totally safe surely? #dezeenchat

[Frankie Entwistle @FranEntwistleNT]

It's an interesting name for this twitter chat - how effective in saving the planet would ditching concrete be? Genuine question! #dezeenchat

[Dezeen @dezeen]

Hi everyone! Welcome to our Twitter debate on concrete vs timber. Should architects ditch concrete for timber to save the planet? Tweet us using #dezeenchat! https://t.co/cyxPZFUXQh

#dezeenchat Should there be minimum age requirements for buying drones? Or is that a step too far? @calumjlindsay @tomravenscroft

#dezeenchat @adidas 's eco-innovation leader told @dezeen that adopting a circular economy is good for business: https://t.co/LIRDMu8PxT

[india block @indiablock]

@FranEntwistleNT Yes! When Net-a-Porter is working with @MoP_London using peace silk it is a good thing https://t.co/wH9VipnuN8 #dezeenchat

[Frankie Entwistle @FranEntwistleNT]

Yes, I can see that for sure. I've noticed it in several industries but is there an advertising standards agency definition I wonder? #dezeenchat

[A.BCH @abchworld]

@Heather_Poole @semihaan @EvelynM54862877 @indiablock As an industry we need to get a lot more specific with the terminology we use. ‘Sustainable’ is no longer useful information to anyone. #dezeenchat

[Dezeen @dezeen]

@FranEntwistleNT Like @ZARA. They announced that 100 per cent of the cotton, linen and polyester used in its clothing will be more sustainable, organic or recycled by 2025. #dezeenchat #fastfashion https://t.co/l7d4JfmdHp

[Frankie Entwistle @FranEntwistleNT]

Love this #dezeenchat I'm so let down by my older relatives!

[Frankie Entwistle @FranEntwistleNT]

Even if it is at least it shows that this trend is lucrative enough that brands are sitting up and taking notice! #dezeenchat

[Frankie Entwistle @FranEntwistleNT]

I'm doing it currently (3 months so far!) but it feels such a drop in the ocean. But, yeah, charity shops have become fashionable which is both good and bad #dezeenchat

[india block @indiablock]

@ExtinctionR @boycottfashion @XrFashionAction I did a year of no new clothes 3-4 years ago – the biggest challenge was the prices of charity shops, which are now competing with vintage stores. I would love to see @Oxfam, @CR_UK, @TheBHF commit to making their stock cheaper than Primark or online fast fashion #dezeenchat

[Dezeen @dezeen]

Our editor @tomravenscroft just said he still regularly wears his @GreenDay Insomniac T-shirt, which he purchased 24 years ago. Can anyone beat that? #dezeenchat #sustainablefashion

[Frankie Entwistle @FranEntwistleNT]

At @dezeen we've published so much recently about #sustainablefashion that surely #fastfashion is becoming a thing of the past? https://t.co/LNLEDkd83O Or am I being optimistic? #dezeenchat

[Frankie Entwistle @FranEntwistleNT]

Love this quote from Evelyn Mora
@EvelynM54862877 - founder of Helsinki Fashion Week #dezeenchat

[Dezeen @dezeen]

Can fashion ever be sustainable? Share your thoughts with #dezeenchat

[Frankie Entwistle @FranEntwistleNT]

Education within the fashion design industry or of consumers? #dezeenchat

[A.BCH @abchworld]

@indiablock @EvelynM54862877 It’s a very difficult task when people care most about the things that impact them more directly. With much of the supply chain out of sight for consumers, I think there needs to be focus on education, not sales marketing campaigns #dezeenchat

[Frankie Entwistle @FranEntwistleNT]

I wonder if there's a shift towards quality over quantity though. Hopefully consumers will vote with their wallets! #dezeenchat

[Arch. Al Jawharah @ArchJawharah]

@lowerdowns @dezeen Well if fashion brands stop producing clothes, they lose a lot of income...that’s why.

[Frankie Entwistle @FranEntwistleNT]

That's true. I love @Allbirds (https://t.co/sPl8T2vEF5 ) and feel a better person for wearing them but that's purely based on materials, I have no idea about their manufacturing process #dezeenchat

[Semi Han @semihaan]

Yes! Sustainable fashion doesn't always necessarily mean the finished product, when the manufacturing process is still doing big harm to the planet. #dezeenchat
