As the #ClimateCrisis gets worse, the #FoodSystems are hit hard

This renders many communities helpless and at risk of #health and social emergency. To add to this, the #food sector is also one of the leading drivers of the #climate crisis

#ClimateAction #regenerativeagriculture

[The Sustainable Brands Journal @the_sbj]

Quitting unsustainable #farming practices and opting for better #FoodSystems is the first step toward building a #healthy and #sustainable community

Here are 4 documentaries that dive into the origin, production and solutions to building healthy #food systems!

With many people quitting their #jobs post-pandemic to look for more fulling endeavours, this study further proves that developing a #SustainableBusiness is not an option, it’s a need.

Would you change your #job for a more #sustainable one?

A study conducted by @arrivabuswales , @censuswide found that 97% of the working adults in UK care about, or worry about, #ClimateChange to some extent

Moreover, 60% respondents were willing to switch their organization or their role if the new opportunities were more “greener”

These findings are in line with the fact that #sustainable businesses have a better chance at finding & retaining talents

5. Invest in the right people & a better system
Compel your elected representatives to deliver real #ClimateAction

Individuals are not powerless.
There are many actions we can take to #invest in a #sustainable future.

#EarthDay #LetTheEarthBreath #climatecrisis #savetheplanet

[The Sustainable Brands Journal @the_sbj]

This year’s #EarthDay focuses on ‘#Investing in our planet’
Including funding for #CleanEnergy, #Climate Adaptation, #sustainable business, etc
All of these actions are crucial to mitigate the #ClimateCrisis in time

But what can we as individuals do to ‘Invest in our planet’?

[The Sustainable Brands Journal @the_sbj]

3. Invest time in #Climate Education
Fight ignorance! Talk to friends, family and the #community to help them realise their role in mitigating this #global crisis

4. #Invest in #sustainably
“Every time you spend money, you're casting a vote for the kind of world you want.”

[The Sustainable Brands Journal @the_sbj]

#ClimateCrisis is bound to get ever more expensive globally as we transition while facing the climate #mitigation and #adaptation challenges. According to the latest #IPCC reports, we still have the time and resources required to prevent the worse if only we act now

#Climate

[The Sustainable Brands Journal @the_sbj]

2021 was 2nd costliest year on record, with insured losses due to #climate disasters totalling around $120 billion
Acc to the first report by the #WhiteHouse OMB, these losses could mount up to $2 Trillion a year by 2100 if no notable actions are taken to curb the #ClimateCrisis!

[The Sustainable Brands Journal @the_sbj]

These calculations do not include the entirety of the damages and risks caused to national security, effects on #ecosystem and costs for #infrastructure, public #health and #businesses outside the federal #government

Since almost 75% of clothing and textiles in the #EU are #imported, the suggested restriction would have a far and wide impact on the fast #fashion industry across the globe

#sustainable #ClimateCrisis #climateaction

[The Sustainable Brands Journal @the_sbj]

European Union has announced plans to set regulations that would help tackle FastFashion by targeting the design and manufacturing of various #textile goods

#EU #fashion #sustainability #zerowaste #Recycle #upcycle

[The Sustainable Brands Journal @the_sbj]

The potential regulations are bound to increase the service life and post-consumer #recycling for the commodities, though the plans to apply these rules for clothes and footwear are not finalized yet, mattresses and carpets are likely to be the first candidates

Sheltering in discarded batteries or tyres could also expose them to heavy metal and other chemicals

Besides, while #octopuses are smart but most #aquatic animals do not have the same skill to adapt to the #ocean litters and end up in perilous situations

#environment #plastic

[The Sustainable Brands Journal @the_sbj]

Octopuses are one of the smartest creatures and now they are #adapting to the #trash in the #ocean!

At least 24 species of #Octopuses are using glass bottles, soda cans, and #Plastic #waste as a shelter, a sanctuary for eggs and even as a disguise to hide from predators!

#eco

[The Sustainable Brands Journal @the_sbj]

This adaptation might seem like a positive change as the deep sea creatures adapt to the #ocean litter but that’s hardly the case

A reason why many creatures are using bottle caps, for example, could be because of the reducing number of seashells that are generally used
