My carbon footprint.

Posted by Robina McEwen on

As you can see, I am right in line with the world’s target. My lifestyle is pretty simple. Fortunately, I live in a city that allows me to walk a lot. I use mass transportation when necessary. I would love to be able to travel more but for now I only fly about 3 times a year.

Sustainable fashion is a part of the growing design philosophy and movement towards environmental and social sustainability, the goal of which is to create a system which can be supported indefinitely in terms of human impact on the environment and social responsibility. Sustainable fashion concerns more than addressing fashion textiles or products. It comprises addressing the whole system of fashion. This means dealing with interdependent social, cultural, ecological and financial systems.[1] It also means considering fashion from the perspective of many stakeholders – users and producers, all living species, contemporary and future dwellers on earth. Sustainable fashion therefore belongs to, and is the responsibility of citizens, public sector and private sector. A key example of the need for systems thinking in fashion is that the benefit of product level initiatives, such as replacing one fiber type for a less environmentally harmful option is eaten up by increasing volumes of fashion products. An adjacent term to sustainable fashion is eco fashion.

“By the year 2050, nearly 80% of the earth’s population will reside in urban centers. An estimated 109 hectares of new and (about 20% more land than is represented by the country of Brazil) will be needed to grow enough food to feed them, if traditional farming practices continue as they are practiced today. (and thats not even talking about global warming…) What to do about this impending food crisis? Many think the solution might lie in urban “skyscraper farms”.


Green buildings are a thing! Buildings that grow, glow, heal itself, absorb toxins and make everyone happy. Nature builds just like today’s contractors. It uses scaffolding. Its a new word….pro-struction. A living building. Its plant-based over current structures. Current healthy natural structures. Its an abundant future of healthy building a new healthy sustainable dream….now possible.
