Starting a project on how to theoretically overhaul Disney's #fashion and #apparel to be more #sustainable . Anyone know about this already?

This is a truly comprehensive piece that helps make sense of all the headlines, tweets, and posts about this.

If I want to study #datascience in the context of #sustainability in #fashion what programming language should I start with?

What would it take for a company like @shopDisney to become leaders in #fashion ? Just three things: 1) entering the #Metaverse 2) championing diversity, equity, and inclusion, and 3) prioritizing #sustainability Check out my latest blog post for more. emilyrhodes.pro/improving-the-…

"...beauty products can only replace the confidence that beauty standards steal." There's a lot of individual work to be done regarding self-love and my relationship with the beauty industry. Glad to have this trove of information to guide me through some of it.

"Fire makes permafrost... more vulnerable to thaw... When that happens, ancient organic materials begin to decompose, releasing their carbon." Another truly worrisome occurrence that will probably get worse before it gets better. Keep changing. Keep demanding change.

I've partnered with an organization that plants trees. And that's not enough. Carbon offsets are a last resort for climate change mitigation. Waste reduction is first.

“The global economic benefit of limiting warming to 2C is reported to exceed the cost of mitigation in most of the assessed literature (medium confidence).” As business leaders, it's imperative that we rethink our systems to mitigate climate risk now - or face huge costs later.

My first course launches in two weeks! I'm so excited to be sharing all I know about #sustainability in #SmallBusinesses and even more excited that every course sold will plant 100 trees!

I define #sustainability as the prioritization of the #environment and #people This runs contrary to the "business as usual" model that centers on creating profits for shareholders. It is one step beyond the #triplebottomline And it is subject to change.

Every business - no matter how small - can shift towards the #circulareconomy by slowly transforming their operations in line with their core competencies. You don't have to become sustainable in every way all at once. But you do have to do something.

Consumers and companies alike have important roles to play when it comes to reducing fashion's impact on the environment. As customers we must change how we consume clothes. Companies must change how they create them. By doing both at once, we can make enormous change.

Big win for the environment! Thank you, Yvon Chouinard, for teaching us all that there is always a better way for business to be done. #Patagonia

I've never had words for my feelings about being an optimist. It really has left me feeling dumb sometimes. Although my feelings are valid, the verdict is in: optimism can be the force for change we so sorely need.

In 4e days I have to produce and deliver a 100-minute presentation on #changebydesign by Tim Brown for one of my graduate classes. I was only given a week's notice so I'm kind of freaking out. Any advice on how to possibly tackle this? What are your favorite points from the book?
