Claim: “The clothing industry contributes up to 10% of the pollution driving the climate crisis.” (Patagonia, 2020-11-30)
Evidence (2023-06-28): Although the clothing industry is known as one of the most polluting sectors – contributing to 10% of the pollution driving climate change – there are a number of global brands passionate about driving change. [...] That’s why, we’ve rounded up an updated list of the world’s most sustainable clothing companies. Denim giant Levi’s has become well known for creating iconic products that withstand the test of time. By focusing on three main pillars – climate, consumption and community – the company prioritises strategic designs and partnerships to address the significant impact of the clothing industry. The business also encourages customers to have open conversations, to inspire change on a global scale.

Evidence (2019-09-23): - The fashion industry is responsible for 10 % of annual global carbon emissions, more than all international flights and maritime shipping combined. At this pace, the fashion industry’s greenhouse gas emissions will surge more than 50 % by 2030. [...] This makes it a challenge for clothing makers to grow without being an enemy of the environment, to become allies of the climate while also promoting better conditions for workers in the sector. [...] Foundations like Ellen MacArthur and initiatives such as the recently formed UN Alliance for Sustainable Fashion, in which the World Bank’s Connect4Climate program and other organizations participate, are calling for a new textile economy. The goal is to explore the use of new materials to make clothing more durable so it can be resold or recycled into other products, helping to reduce pollution.

Evidence (2024-05-30): Clothing retailers like Zara, Forever 21, and H&M make cheap and fashionable clothing to satisfy the needs of young consumers. Yet, fast fashion has a significant environmental impact. According to the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), the industry is the second-biggest consumer of water and is responsible for about 10% of global carbon emissions – more than all international flights and maritime shipping combined. Unfortunately, fast fashion problems are often overlooked by consumers. [...] According to an analysis by Business Insider, fashion production comprises 10% of total global carbon emissions, as much as the European Union. It dries up water sources and pollutes rivers and streams, while 85% of all textiles go to dumps each year. Even washing clothes releases 500,000 tons of microfibres into the ocean each year, the equivalent of 50 billion plastic bottles. The Quantis International 2018 report found that the three main drivers of the industry’s global pollution impacts are dyeing and finishing (36%), yarn preparation (28%) and fibre production (15%). The report also established that fibre production has the largest impact on freshwater withdrawal (water diverted or withdrawn from a surface water or groundwater source) and ecosystem quality due to cotton cultivation, while the dyeing and finishing, yarn preparation and fibre production stages have the highest impacts on resource depletion, due to the energy-intensive processes based on fossil fuel energy.

Evidence (2024-10-02): - The fashion industry is responsible for 2-8 % of global carbon emissions. If the fashion sector continues on its current trajectory, that share of the carbon budget could jump to 26% by 2050 (Ellen MacArthur Foundation, 2017) [...] These plastic-based textiles have a significant impact on the environment and climate throughout their life cycle due to emissions of greenhouse gases and pollutants. The textile sector is a growing contributor to the climate crisis, with about 1% of crude oil production used to produce synthetic fibres (European Environment Agency). [...] Launched at COP24 in 2021, the Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Change serves as a roadmap to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 within the textile, clothing and fashion industries.
Claim: “The clothing industry contributes up to 10% of the pollution driving the climate crisis.” (Patagonia, 2020-11-30)
Evidence (2005-01-01): Fast fashion is an enormous, rapidly growing industry. The number of new garments made per year has nearly doubled over the past 20 years, and our global consumption of fashion has increased by 400%. The fast fashion industry is a significant contributor to the climate crisis, responsible for as much as 10% of global carbon emissions. Animal-based textiles like wool are responsible for water pollution, widespread habitat loss from deforestation, and other harms to wildlife. Slow down your fashion by caring for your clothes, repairing when possible and, when you need new clothes, shop secondhand or join clothing swaps. If you must buy new, look past the greenwashing and purchase clothing made of truly sustainable materials like organic cotton or Tencel from brands that are made to last. Read about greenwashing of the wool industry and the harms of fast fashion.

Evidence (2024-01-01): Clothing production reaches $1.8 trillion - 2022 [...] The world’s largest clothing brands hide dirty, irresponsible practices and misuse words like "sustainable," "green" and "conscious." [...] Informed buyers will force the clothing industry to drop their dirty practices. Demand better practices—what you buy is what the industry will become.
Claim: “The clothing industry contributes up to 10% of the pollution driving the climate crisis.” (Patagonia, 2020-11-30)
Evidence (2022-02-24): Fashion accounts for around 10% of greenhouse gas emissions from human activity, but there are ways to reduce the impact your wardrobe has on the climate. [...] The fashion industry accounts for about 8-10% of global carbon emissions, and nearly 20% of wastewater. And while the environmental impact of flying is now well known, fashion sucks up more energy than both aviation and shipping combined. [...] Clothing in general has complex supply chains that makes it difficult to account for all of the emissions that come from producing a pair of trousers or new coat. Then there is how the clothing is transported and disposed of when the consumer no longer wants it anymore.
Claim: “The clothing industry contributes up to 10% of the pollution driving the climate crisis.” (Patagonia, 2020-11-30)
Evidence (2022-06-17): As the price of apparel gets cheaper, their quality decreases leading to ethical and sustainable issues. Fast fashion is the latest business model that is exacerbating climate change consequences. As the third-largest polluting industry in the world, the fashion supply chain must change before it’s too late. [...] In 2021, the World Economic Forum identified the fashion industry and its supply chain as the world’s third-largest polluter. On average, it releases 10% of worldwide greenhouse gas emissions annually. Per year, the industry contributes 1.2 billion tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. By the year 2030, it is predicted that total greenhouse gas emissions will increase by 50%. [...] Fortunately, to help rid the fashion industry’s global footprint, key stakeholders in the industry joined together with the United Nations in 2018 under the "Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action." This is the first charter connecting fashion to the climate crisis. Based on the Paris Agreement, this charter plans to drive the fashion industry to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
Claim: Intravenous hydrogen peroxide "enables the body to cure itself of practically any disease" (Farley Malorrus, 2023-04-26)
Evidence (2023-04-26): Hydrogen peroxide is an effective disinfectant for inanimate objects and surfaces. However, using it internally by ingesting or injecting it can lead to serious health problems, depending on the strength of the hydrogen peroxide solution used. Swallowing a highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide solution can lead to burns that require emergency care and injecting hydrogen peroxide into the bloodstream generates air bubbles, which can lead to an air embolism.

Evidence (2024-01-01): Intravenous hydrogen peroxide therapy is a therapeutic cancer treatment that has a significant number of loyal adherents. When hydrogen peroxide is brought into contact with blood, an enzyme called catalase causes it to disintegrate into water and large amounts of oxygen. [...] Benefits Of Hydrogen Peroxide IV Therapy [...] Intravenous: The intravenous administration of hydrogen peroxide is an effective treatment for bacterial infections as well as a wide variety of acute and chronic viral illnesses. It also has the potential to be effective for the treatment of other illnesses, such as arthritis and hypertension. The intravenous therapy, which consists of hydrogen peroxide at a concentration of 3% in 500 cc five percent glucose in water as a carrier solution and takes around 90 minutes to give, is typically employed. 2 grams of magnesium chloride are added additionally with a small quantity of manganese to avert vein sclerosis.

Evidence (2022-11-03): But now, a few decades later, I’ve finally found a reason to appreciate hydrogen peroxide. It turns out that it’s powerful enough to kill a particularly lethal kind of antibiotic-resistant bacteria—as long as it’s combined with a blue LED light or laser. [...] Typically, MRSA and other types of cells are able to withstand being doused with hydrogen peroxide through the defenses of their cell membranes. But after blue light phototherapy, MRSA’s membranes become temporarily pockmarked with holes. When hydrogen peroxide is delivered in combination with blue light, it’s able to flood the insides of MRSA cells and cause them to biologically implode, eradicating 99.9 percent of bacteria.

Evidence (2020-08-31): Any time you inject intravenously, you risk pushing bacteria, fungi, and any other infection-causing microbes that are on your skin directly into your bloodstream. It is therefore extremely important to thoroughly clean your injection site prior to getting off. Alcohol pads work well for this purpose, but be sure to wipe in only one direction and not in a circular motion which will cause the dirt and germs to stay on your skin. Rubbing alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, or plain old soap and water or any other type of cleaning agent or disinfectant also work fine. Be sure not to touch the injection site with your fingers after you’ve cleaned it. Routinely cleaning the skin prior to injection is one of the most important things you can do to reduce your risk of endocarditis, blood poisoning, and similar infections (discussed in chapter 3).
