Jane Fonda -- Our Fav 'Outlaw' -- Talks Climate Activism With Who What Wear

Jane Fonda -- Our Fav 'Outlaw' -- Talks Climate Activism With Who What Wear

Wow! We’re in ecstasy with this Jane Fonda editorial lensed by Tiffany Nicholson for Who What Wear. Tracy Taylor styles Fonda in Gabriela Hearst, Warren, Frame Le Plazzo Jeans, Lingua Franca ‘Outlaw’ cashmere sweater — PERFECT for Fonda — and more.

Jane celebrated her 82nd birthday in handcuffs, arrested for a fifth time at a climate change protest in Washington, DC. Jane makes it clear in her interview that clothes do not inspire her. And yes, Tracy Taylor whipped up largely sustainable pieces for the Tiffany Nicholson photo shoot. Jane is on the record saying that her red protest coat —not the Nancy Pelosi red Max Mara coat — is the last item of clothing that she will ever buy.

British Vogue 'Waste Not' Fran Summers, Vittoria Ceretti by Craig McDean Is Sustainability Serious

British Vogue launches a new, more ‘WOKE’ mindset with ‘How Fashion Is Finally Working To Tackle Climate Change’, written by Tamsin Blanchard.

Contributing fashion director Kate Phelan styles Vittoria Ceretti and Fran Summers with the same approach used in her Taylor Swift editorial. This transition approach — at odds with Fashion Extinction’s bold statement of ‘buy nothing’ — begins a closet update re-education process that European women have understood for decades.

Craig McDean captures Fran and Vittoria in Kate Phelan’s old and new ‘Waste Not’ editorial, launching a new decade of thinking that demands reforms in consumption patterns.

DAME Is First Period Brand to Be Climate Positive | Fish Rejoice AOC Women

Most young entrepreneurs struggle to be taken seriously by potential investors. Imagine having raised capital from investors to support DAME, a subscription service delivery a range of London high street period products to women living in the UK, and returning to investors with an ethical problem is epic proportions in the business model. In one word: sustainability. .

“Pivoting the business was a real challenge,” co-founder Celia Pool recalled for Forbes. “Having to go to our investors and say that we no longer believed in the synthetic single-use products that we were selling, and we wanted to design our own was a big thing.

“We had a lot to prove,” Pool continued, explaining how she and business partner Alec Mills, brought their new sustainable tampon and applicator to market in early 2019.

Dazed Digital shares another major milestone development in DAME’s road to success.

Let’s ground ourselves in facts.

Tampons and sanitary pads are estimated to produce over 100 billion pieces of waste every year and they are the fifth-most common type of waste washing up on beaches, with nine plastic tampon applicators found per kilometre on UK beaches according to the Women’s Environmental Network. With the average woman using around 12,000 tampons in her life, each of them contributes 24,000 pieces of plastic to landfill, as most applicators have two plastic parts.

That is one sobering paragraph for ALL women who have a degree of choice in our lives — and that includes menopausal women with granddaughters. We all have obligations to saving our planet, but this is one subject all women can relate to.

Prince William Shows Conservation Still Has A Problem With ‘White Saviours’

Prince William Shows Conservation Still Has A Problem With ‘White Saviours’ AOC Eye

By Hannah Mumby, Research Fellow, Department of Zoology, University of Cambridge ; originally published on The Conversation Africa

Prince William recently spoke at one of the largest illegal wildlife summits ever held in London. He said, “Poaching is an economic crime against ordinary people and their futures.”

The quote could have been better. Poachers, after all, are merely the corner boys of the global illegal wildlife trade, the ones who benefit least financially and risk most, usually their lives. They’re ordinary people too, and vilifying them is not getting to the heart of the issue.

William had travelled to Tanzania, Kenya and Namibia in September and October this year, to learn about conservation, and a video of his trip to Tanzania was presented to the attendees. It did not go down well with various NGOs and campaigners who accused the video of promoting a “white saviour” image, given that only one African, a student, spoke to the camera, while the rest of the interviewees were international participants.
