Sustainability in the Textile and Garment Industries Collection

Collected by: Cornell University Library

Archived since: May, 2021

Description:

In 2015, The United Nations Launched the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The UN SDGs take a broad view of sustainability; connecting the need to address the environmental causes of climate change to the human cost of things like hunger, inadequate housing, poverty, and equal access to education. All 17 of the SDGs listed by the UN apply to the people and industries connected to textile and garment manufacturing. This collection seeks to document organizations that are working to create more social and environmental sustainability within the textile and garment industries worldwide.

Description: "Established in 2017, Adirondack Fibershed is a member of the Fibershed Affiliate Program. The Fibershed Affiliate Program supports an international grassroots network that promotes the development of regional fiber systems communities, including economic and non-economic growth, in the form of building relationships and new global networks. We work to connect fiber enthusiasts across the Adirondacks and inspire collaborations that result in beautiful artisan products made with local fiber, natural dyes, and local labor. Whether you have been knitting for 40 years, raising sheep for 3 generations, or are just becoming interested in the fiber world, we have something for you. We will be organizing workshops on topics like natural dying, weaving, knitting, and more, and we can't wait to foster more creative connections."--taken from website 2024.04.01
