As US consumers continue to gravitate toward more sustainable products, over half shopped secondhand apparel in 2022

Globally, the secondhand apparel market is set to nearly double 
by 2027, reaching $350 billion — including $70 billion in the US alone. In the U.S. in particular, resale markets grew five times faster than the broader retail clothing sector in 2022

Secondhand Apparel Sales Are Booming

One in every three apparel items purchased in the U.S. last year was secondhand, according to new research. This burgeoning secondhand apparel boom comes as more and more people say they're concerned about environmental issues and are willing to change their daily lives to make a difference. 

#IPCC What I heard from the lead author's today:

•We'll pass 1.5° in early 2030s
•Rest of 2020s is key
•Storm frequency / severity will continue to go up
•All projects should be climate solutions
•Financing is needed & a good financial investment
•To work, ideas need to be vetted by community partners
•We have good tools + science already
•Mitigation / adaptation are more possible now than ever.

Maybe it's time for the "net" in Net Zero to go. Direct air capture (of CO2 from the atmosphere) of 10 gigatonnes of CO2 per year (IPCC aim by 2050), has a *theoretical minimum* energy cost of 10% of the world's current energy consumption. And in practice it currently takes 5-7 times more than that, so >HALF our entire electricity supply. That energy would be far better spent decarbonising, until that task is complete. The aim has to be **zero** carbon, not net anything. #climate #CDR #NetZero

It’s REALLY important for everyone to understand the truth that designing your city for cars fails for everyone, including drivers. Designing a city with CHOICES in how to get around works better for everyone, including drivers.

Let’s spread this message as much as we can.

I've been thinking for a while that it would be good to have a collective Climate Diary (along the lines of the Sussex Mass Observation project): people from across the world recording and sharing everyday observations, experiences, thoughts, feelings relating to the #ClimateCrisis

I would like to try out simply using a #Hashtag - #ClimateDiary - here on #Mastodon to create this and I would like to invite you all to join in and share widely! 1/4

"Chemical accidents." The slow poisoning of America's air, land, water, and habitats. And this doesn't include radioactive plumes from accidents-in-place.

This is the result of under-regulated, corrupt, industrial capitalism.
