"Fast fashion refers to trendy clothes that are mass produced and made and sold quickly and cheaply, enabling people to buy new clothes often. In order for the clothes to be sold cheaply, the workers who make these clothes are often paid very low wages and the materials are poor quality.

In the past, the fashion industry released new designs on a seasonal basis – four times a year. Nowadays some big fashion houses release a new line every week, producing almost twice the amount of clothing today than they did in 2000. Alarmingly, many of these garments are hardly worn at all and up to 85% go into landfill each year. In Australia that is thought to be enough to fill an area the size of Sydney Harbour. So, this is obviously a big issue."—Ocean Life Education

systemd contributor faces death threats over an optional birthDate field. No verification, no surveillance—just an empty optional database field for distros to optionally comply with age verification laws. The Linux community went from code review to doxxing and death threats in 24 hours. Open source governance requires disagreement, but the bridge from code review to death threats shouldnt exist. Toxicity is the real vulnerability.

Forever Pesticides? No thanks

Under the excuse of competition & #food security, the #EU commission is siding with #chemical industry which could mean more #pesticides on our fields

PFAS, #glyphosate, #acetamiprid … all the chemicals scientists have been warning us about for years

The #toxicity, increased chance of #death & #disease are just some of the consequences of the use of these chemicals
