“Laundering of textiles and clothing has high energy and water demands,...And for those pieces that are washed frequently, laundering has a large environmental impact relative to the impact of making the pieces in the first place.” – @katetfletcher https://t.co/yjAavTfeZh

"Fashion is stuck in a bit of a rut. The constant search for newness feels old, and as a result, the old is what feels intriguingly new."

What in the world is going wrong at @Qantas?

Runway works at Darwin means flights to London can't take off with all baggage - trouble is customer service has gone AWOL and no one can get through to find out when they'll get their luggage.

@Qantas @Airbus Being without your luggage for a week+ due to @qantas flight delays, & business lounge staff who are unwilling to help you is not acceptable. Calling Qantas (repeatedly), emailing, filling out forms, leaving messages & DM-ing doesn’t achieve anything.

@Qantas being without your luggage for over a week due to flight delays, & business lounge staff who are unwilling to help you is not acceptable. Calling repeatedly, emailing, filing forms, leaving messages & DM-ing hasn’t achieved anything.
Qantas needs to resolve this & soon!

The quick turnover of fashion trends — and popular plastic-based textiles such as polyester — comes at a steep environmental cost https://t.co/fjfN4lEPz9 via @bbgvisualdata

[Emma Cartmel @emmacartmel]

Another prime example of these (ultra) #fastfashion giants overproducing at such a rate that it becomes easier to simply copy from other designers or artists.
