The dress of H&M, worn by Taiwanese actress Lin Zling at the third Global Change Award in Stockholm, Sweden, in March last year, drew attention from around the world. This is because the dress material was made of orange peel. This special dress is made of 50% orange fiber and 50% organic silk. an orange textile dress is worn by Taiwanese actress Lin Zling [provided by H&M] Global fashion brand H&M recruits ideas for eco-friendly fashion at the annual Global Change Awards, with five winning teams receiving a total of 1 million euros in prize money. Orange fiber and vegetable leather made from waste after producing wine were the ideas that won the championship. Orange Fiber is made by extracting cellulose from the orange peel that is discarded in the process of processing oranges. H&M is introducing natural material fashion through its clothing line Conscientious Exclusive, which is based on eco-friendly materials and sustainability. Recently, the company has put on the ...

in the early 1990s The catch of cod, the 'national fish' in Europe and North America, has begun to drop sharply. The Grand Banks of Newfoundland, Canada, which was one of the world's largest fishing grounds in Daegu, saw its resources plunge due to overfishing, and in 1992, the Canadian government put the brakes on Daegu's fishing operations. In New England, the cod was also a symbolic fish. New England, where the port developed, used to be the place where more than 1,000 tons of seafood came into the port, but the fisheries industry collapsed after the 1990s. "In the early 1990s, overfishing and poor catch management were the starting point for the depletion of fisheries resources," Dick Jones, CEO of Ocean Outcoms, explained at a sustainable fisheries forum on the 22nd. Daegu prices soared after the devastation of the Grand Banks fishing grounds disrupted the supply of marine products. The price of cod in Britain, which stood at $84 per ton in 1992, soared t...

March 22 was the United Nations' World Day for Water, and this year's "Water and Climate Change" was chosen as the key theme. With industrial growth and population growth, we are increasingly demanding water, but climate change, water waste and water pollution caused by this are threatening water around the world. Water security has emerged as an international issue, with experts saying that the possibility of a water war is much greater than the possibility of a nuclear war in the future. "Water stress is emerging as a form of international conflict and is threatening human food," warned Andrew Steer, head of the World Resources Institute. Korea is no exception. Korea is a food security crisis. The grain self-sufficiency rate is only 23 percent (average between 2015 and 2017 and the Korea Rural Economic Institute), ranking last among OECD members. At the same time, South Korea is the country that pointed to its high "water stress" index in a docum...

Even in Korea, where huge amounts of plastic are used every year, we can realize the change. Since last summer, coffee shops have been serving coffee in mugs instead of disposable containers. You can also see paper straws that replace plastic straws or multi-use stainless steel straws. Starbucks Korea offers eco-friendly paper straws at all stores nationwide from the 26th. Not long ago, there was news that McDonald's in China was stopping providing plastic straws. Also, voices calling for changing all food wrappers to eco-friendly ones are gaining strength. Foods that fill the shelves of large marts are usually made of materials that harm the environment, such as plastic, vinyl film, and paper. It rarely breaks down even when buried in the ground, and it makes the Earth sick. The "2019 Food Trend" recently released by Hall Food, the largest eco-friendly food distributor in the U.S., also said, "The packaging of eco-friendly materials will become a trend." Many c...

In June 1972, the United Nations Conference on Human Environment in Stockholm, Sweden, was established by the international community, pledging joint efforts to preserve the global environment. Now the whole world is living with a lot of problems, such as the U.S. Anti-Discrimination Demonstration (BLM), the Corona Virus, etc., and I want you to think again that the Earth's environment is being destroyed and ...
