Understand the new carbon dioxide dress claims

Environmental protection is the duty of everyone living on the earth. Low-carbon environmental protection starts from the side. Clothes are a major consumer expense in people's daily lives, and the quantity is enormous. With the improvement of Chinese people's spending power and the rapid foreign fashion concept, “the west wind is moving eastward”, the Chinese people's dressing trend has become more than just being dare to wear, but they also like to wear it. They can only wait seven days a week to wear a new outfit. Recently, a newly released city survey report on public dress habits also confirms that people are getting clothes faster and faster, and the cycle of clothes is getting shorter and shorter. People seem to be getting more and more in the habit of dressing clothes. "New and old."

However, the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by a piece of ordinary clothing, from raw materials to discarded, is also very large, which has a great impact on the environment.

After the Copenhagen conference, climate change, emission reduction actions, and low-carbon life became the most talked-about keywords. The head of state considered global climate change and national emission reduction actions. Our civilian population may wish to start from their own and effectively implement their own low Carbon life issues. When it comes to low-carbon life, it actually includes all aspects. For women in the United States, effective carbon reduction is to reduce the purchase of clothing and increase the service life of a single piece of clothing. Do not underestimate this small move. Oh, a garment consumes a lot of energy in the process of production, processing and transportation, and produces pollutants such as waste gas and waste water. Everyone buys an unnecessary piece of clothing each year, and it can save about 2.5 kilograms of standard coal, and correspondingly reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 6.4 kilograms! Is it very powerful?

Other low carbon dress claims

● Reduce clothing purchases. The energy saved per person per year for buying one less piece of clothing is equivalent to a reduction of about 5.7 kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions.

● Choose environmentally friendly fabrics. For clothing produced by Li Ning and Teijin in collaboration with ECO CIRCLE fabrics, 3,000 pieces of garments passed the ECO CIRCLE system to reduce carbon dioxide emissions during recycling, equivalent to the total amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by 228 firs in a year. Hemp fiber, bamboo fiber, and linen are more environmentally friendly than cotton.

● Buy environmentally friendly styles. Choose wild and classic styles, light-colored, non-printed garments to avoid wrinkle-free, waterproof and anti-fouling clothing.

● Reduce the number of washings. Not only save water and electricity, but also prevent the contamination of detergents.

● Choose environmentally friendly washing. Reduce the washing temperature, change to dry naturally.

● Use hand wash instead of machine wash. The average use of hand washing instead of a washing machine can reduce carbon emissions by 0.26 kg.

● Renovate old clothes at a tailor shop. Reduce the number of times you buy and discard clothing.

● Donate or transfer clothes to other people who need them. At present, China's Tibet, Qinghai, Gansu, Sichuan, Guizhou and other regions are still poor and lack clothing. Be careful to clean before donation to avoid contamination during donation.
