It's taken time - and plenty of mistakes - to get here, but some organizations are starting to ask, rather than tell, rural communities what they need and want. A @soljourno story - nyti.ms/2LoaTIo
Kering, the luxury conglomerate that owns Gucci, Bottega Veneta & others, becomes the first in the industry to target *absolute* emissions reductions. New goal, just announced in NYC: 40% by 2035.

Honored to be part of this thread, thank you @npjbiodiversity. I loved reporting this story. Convinced it's a topic that still needs more attention - and research!
2. In this @Nature special issue, @RachelCernansky (now Sustainability Editor at @VogueBusiness), explored "Quality over Quantity" & why we need to look at the richness of traits in an #ecosystem rather than just the number of species.

Unfortunately, I have covered mass shootings multiple times in my career. This is the first time I can recall getting message after message from viewers like this.
La Rhea Pepper is stepping down as CEO at @TextileExchange and Claire Bergkamp - the original driving force behind @StellaMcCartney's sustainability dept - is stepping in. #textileexchange #coloradosprings

For #IWD2022, I wrote about how gender and environment are not separate issues.
The saying 'there is no away' is so common now. "For us that’s not very accurate. There is an away. She lives there.” - Liz Ricketts of OR Foundation voguebusiness.com/sustainabi…
Love this beyond words 😍
After months of keeping it under wraps, I’m thrilled to announce @Fash_Rev garden at @The_RHS Chelsea Flower Show, designed by Lottie Delamain. The garden will reveal the beauty of plant-based dyes & fibres & sow a seed of curiosity about #whatsinmyclothes fashionrevolution.org/a-text…
Amazon is opening a clothing store. It'll likely, as Amazon does, change how people shop.
I asked the company if or how sustainability is a priority. While they wouldn't say much, @AjaSaysHello @trissanen @UCRFashion @AlanteCapital did. @voguebusiness voguebusiness.com/sustainabi…
The baby-steps approach is failing to fix global crises.
Here's a look at the push for systemic change.

Looot of opinions out there about the Fashion Act, meant to bring sweeping changes to a little-regulated industry.
Consensus: it's a huge 1st step, but it's also incomplete.
Main hopes before it gets finalized: Aim higher. And seek more diverse voices. voguebusiness.com/sustainabi…
.@EvolvedByNature is about to scale, replacing PU in leather & finishing chemicals in activewear. But the real aim is much bigger - to replace the many, many chemicals that keep apparel, cosmetics & even healthcare industries dependent on fossil fuels voguebusiness.com/sustainabi…
"Human beings need role models, and we need cool role models...that’s where I think fashion should be moving...showing people it’s not always about having a new pair of sneakers."

This was surprisingly hopeful to report, considering all the backsliding we've done on #plastic. With @kroger @TerraCycle and All Good Goods—which opened DURING the pandemic. Founder looked for a store to buy food without plastic. "I couldn’t find it. So I created it." @CivilEats
