Planet
An astronomical body that spins around a star or stellar remnant is known as a planet. Due to gravity, it must be massive enough to be spherical but not massive enough to undergo nuclear fusion. Additionally, it should remove planetesimals from its surrounding area. The ability to see five planets in the Solar System by ancient observers, the term “planet” has changed over time. Due to exclusions based on orbital parameters, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) definition of planets from 2006 is still debatable today. Moreover, four huge, low-density gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus) and four smaller, rocky terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) make up the Solar System’s eight recognized planets, which are split into two primary categories (Topper, 2020).
The production and consumption of goods and services worldwide have evolved as a result of the circular economy. The circular model reorganises the economy around the concepts of minimising pollution and waste while extending the lifespan of products and materials. The need of restoring wilderness areas around the world, developing regenerative agriculture systems, utilising renewable materials, and converting to renewable energy sources cannot be overstated. (Chathamhouse.org 2021).
Sustainability in fashion aims to minimize the harmful effects on the environment and society. Include a number of crucial ideas and methods, such as:
Environmental responsibility: Sustainable fashion works to limit environmental damage. Using eco-friendly materials, reducing waste, energy use, and emissions during production.
Ethical Labour Practises: providing all parties engaged in the fashion supply chain, from artisans to garment workers, with fair and ethical working circumstances. Fair pay, secure jobs, and labour rights are all promoted by ethical fashion.
Longevity and Quality: prioritizing long-lasting clothes in sustainable fashion.
Reduced Consumption: spread awareness between consumers to make thoughtful fashion decisions, valuing quality over quantity. Meaning purchasing fewer, better-quality products that last longer.
Circular economy: sustainable fashion can aid a circular economy in two ways, firstly by reusing materials, and secondly by aiding consumers to be responsible by promoting supply chain transparency.
Innovation: Innovation: using products and materials that sustainable fashion highly priorities, such as sustainable textiles, packaging and eco-friendly dyes.
Consumer Awareness: sustainable fashion should encourage ethical and environmentally conscious decisions between consumers.
Overall, the fast fashion framework, which emphasises low-cost, high-volume production with little regard for environmental or social implications, is being replaced by sustainability in the fashion industry. Instead, it encourages a more mindful and responsible attitude to clothing, in line with socially and environmentally responsible ideas.(whiterose.ac.uk 2015).
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which consists of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), was established by the United Nations in 2015. These SDGs emphasise the connection between human rights and environmental health as they address issues such as poverty, gender equality, climate change, and more. And one of them is LIFE BELOW WATER which is we must deal with the issue of microplastics generated during synthetic clothing washing if we are to achieve the goal of protecting seas and marine resources. Safe microplastic capture in both home and commercial washing facilities must be regulated by law. (Remake, 2023).
