Sundressed
For conscious consumers, buying clothes has never been more complicated. Even as fashion brands tout their sustainability, the industry is plagued by pollution, waste, and poor working conditions. If our clothes reflect our values, is it possible to be truly well-dressed? Sustainable fashion consultant Lucianne Tonti answers with a resounding yes. Beautiful clothes made from natural fabrics including cotton, wool, flax, and cashmere can support rural communities and regenerate landscapes. They can also reduce waste—but only if we invest in garments that stand the test of time rather than chasing fast fashion trends. In Sundressed, Tonti travels the world to showcase producers who are refor...
The Path to Net Zero for the Fashion Industry
This book uses a quantitative science-based approach to explain where the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions emitted by the fashion industry are generated and it explores what strategies can be deployed to achieve Net Zero by 2050. With GHG emissions currently predicted to triple by the middle of the century, the fashion industry is far off course to reach Net Zero, as set out in the Paris Agreement. With misinformation and greenwashing representing an ever-growing barrier to potential solutions, the book aims to demystify the source of GHG emissions from the industry, breaking down in detail their origin, while identifying the steps that can be taken when designing and sourcing new products. De...

Una sporca verità
Tartarughe marine intrappolate negli anelli delle confezioni di birra, balene spiaggiate con lo stomaco imbottito di plastica, immense isole di immondizia galleggiante nel Pacifico. Ma anche ghiacciai dell'Everest ridotti a pattumiere, sacchetti di nylon nella Fossa delle Marianne e microplastiche nel suolo, nell'aria che respiriamo, perfino nel nostro sangue. E il problema non si limita neanche più alla superficie terrestre. La quantità di rifiuti in orbita è tale che l'Agenzia spaziale europea sta studiando piani per una missione di pulizia nello spazio, onde evitare che la nuvola di spazzatura intorno alla Terra ostacoli le future missioni spaziali. A onor del vero, gli esseri umani ha...
Boken om Beck och Sjöwall Wahlöö och tiden som for
Under åren 1965 till 1975 kom författarna Maj Sjöwall och Per Wahlöö ut med tio böcker om kriminalkommissarie Martin Beck. Sviten fick titeln Roman om ett brott och skulle bli banbrytande. Så här kunde deckare skrivas! Så här kunde Sverige skildras! Maj och Per var glödande kommunister, men också ett innerligt kärlekspar. Reportrar som träffade dem hade svårt att skriva artiklarna efteråt, för vem sa egentligen vad? De föll varandra i talet, alltid tillsammans, alltid sammanflätade. Så BOKEN OM BECK är en berättelse om litteraturhistoria, men också en kärlekshistoria. Roman om ett brott skapade det svenska deckarundret. Det är svårt att tänka sig en Wallander, en Salander eller en Van Veeteren utan Martin Beck. Utifrån en mängd intervjuer och hittills opublicerade brev och dagböcker tecknar Johan Erlandsson bilden av ett av svenskt 1900-tals mest betydande författarskap. JOHAN ERLANDSSON är författare och journalist. Han debuterade 2009 med en biografi över Allan Edwall. 2016 kom det historiska reportaget Desertörerna, om de amerikanska Vietnamdesertörerna. Till vardags är han reporter på tidningen Kommunalarbetaren.

Tras esta simple pregunta el galardonado periodista de investigación Franklin-Wallis se sumerge de lleno en la crisis mundial de los residuos y saca a la luz el mundo oculto que sustenta nuestra economía moderna.

Con esta fascinante, sugerente y a veces aterradora investigación, Oliver Franklin-Wallis cuenta una nueva historia de la humanidad basada en lo que dejamos atrás y, por el camino, comparte un plan para construir un mundo más sano y sostenible, antes de que nos entierren a todos en la basura
Trash Talk
An eye-opening, illustrated look at something we often take for granted—our trash, and the systems in place that make it disappear (or not) In a world of mass consumption and busy schedules, taking the time to understand our own trash habits can be daunting. In Trash Talk, the ever-curious and talented Iris Gottlieb pulls back the curtain on the intricacies of the global trash production system and its contribution to climate change. From the history of the mafia’s rule of the New York sanitation system to orbital debris (space trash) to the myth of recycling, Gottlieb will help readers see trash in a whole new way. Complete with beautiful illustrations and several landfills’ worth of research, Trash Talk shines a much-needed light on a system that has been broken for far too long, providing readers with surprising, disgusting, and insightful information to better understand how we affect garbage and how it affects us.
Nichts wird von alleine gut
Die Hoffnung hat ein Problem. Gerade jetzt, wo wir sie am meisten brauchen, versagt sie. Immer mehr Menschen haben das Gefühl, dass die Zukunft nicht besser werden wird als die Gegenwart. Das beweisen neuste Umfragen ganz klar: Über die Hälfte aller Jugendlichen weltweit ist inzwischen davon überzeugt, dass die Menschheit dem Untergang geweiht ist. Die Gegenwart scheint ausweglos. Inklusive Klimawandel, sozialer Ungerechtigkeit, Faschismus und Krieg. Diese Entwicklung ist unerträglich, denn für ein selbstbestimmtes und gelungenes Leben, ist Hoffnung eine unabdingbare Notwendigkeit. Aber damit wir wieder Hoffnung haben können, müssen wir zuerst verstehen, was Hoffnung überhaupt bedeutet und warum es so einfach ist, absolut falsch zu hoffen. Christiane Stenger und Stephan Phin Spielhoff machen sich deshalb auf die Suche nach der Hoffnung, nach ihrem Ursprung, ihrem Werdegang und wollen wissen, wie konnten wir darauf hoffen, dass alles gut wird, und dann wurde nichts gut?! Die Hoffnung braucht ein Revival, denn sie ist viel mehr als reines Wunschdenken - sie ist unser einziges Werkzeug, mit dem wir schon jetzt für eine bessere Zukunft sorgen können und zwar für uns alle.
